Turkish ophthalmologist Umit Kemish advised that you wear glasses instead of contact lenses to reduce the risk of infection with the Coronavirus.
In a statement, Qamish explained, people who use contact lenses constantly touch their eyes, which mean that they are vulnerable to the transmission of infection through the eye.
He showed that the virus infiltrates the human body through 3 ports, which are the mouth, nose and eye.
He stressed the need to prefer glasses to contact lenses to prevent the virus.
He explained that the Chinese doctor, "Li Wenliang", who died from corona virus infection, after he was the first to warn of the spread of the virus in Wuhan, the stronghold of the virus, is an ophthalmologist, to which the infection was transmitted from one of his patients.
Al-Tayeb called on his colleagues, ophthalmologists, to exercise caution and take the necessary measures while examining patients, given that the examination is carried out from a distance of less than a meter.
He also advised people who do not have serious eye problems, to postpone their visits to ophthalmologists during this period.
As of Friday morning, the number of people infected with corona around the world reached more than one million and 16 thousand, of whom more than 53 thousand died, while more than 213 thousand recovered.
