In this study, 9.5% of hospitalized COVID-19 patients exhibited ocular signs and symptoms. Factors associated with severe systemic COVID-19 disease were not associated with developing ocular abnormalities. The rate of ocular manifestations of COVID-19 should not be ignored, and thus physicians should routinely evaluate for ocular involvement in hospitalized COVID-19 patients.
