Histopathology and SARS-CoV-2 Cellular Localization in Eye Tissues of COVID-19 Autopsies

Autopsies have previously evidenced SARS viral persistence in gastrointestinal tissues including ocular tissues. This study detected SARS RNA in ocular fluids/tissue in 61% of cases; cornea 42%, horoid/sclera 50%, lens 53%, retina 35%, optic nerve 59%.
