Nurses in Paris developed eye problems while using eye protection to care for critically ill patients in COVID-19 intensive-care wards, Reuters reported, citing a new report by French doctors.
The nurses were prescribed an eye ointment and their eyelids later healed, but healthcare workers should be aware of COVID-19 disinfection chemicals potentially causing such irritations, Drs. Bruno Megarbane and Ramin Tadayoni of Lariboisiere Hospital, in Paris, write in Occupational and Environmental Medicine.
