“…During this period, use of training models and simulators has proven to be useful in training these students for surgery and eye examination. [23][24][25] Patients can also be assisted through teleophthalmology, which can be improved with appropriate training for healthcare professionals. Quality images can be captured and sent to ophthalmologists in other locations.…”

The outbreak of the new coronavirus (COVID-19) that started in Wuhan, China, has spread all over the world and has had a great impact on eye care. 1 It is a ribonucleic acid (RNA) virus, called severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which may have ocular manifestations in some patients. 2 This is a single-stranded RNA virus with a genome of about 30 kb in length. The RNA genome encodes its proteins. The proteins are spike protein S, membrane protein M, envelope protein E and nucleocapsid protein N. Protein S is responsible for attachment to host receptors; protein M helps to shape virus particles and their binding to the nucleocapsid; protein E acts in the assembly of particle release; and protein N acts on genome binding and replication. 3 The new coronavirus shows 96% genetic similarity to the bat-type coronavirus SARS BatCovRaTG13, and its spike surface protein (S) binds to angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) on the cell surface. ACE2 expression can be found in respiratory, intestinal, renal, cardiac and immune cells. Its main transmission routes are through respiratory droplets, fomites and fecal-oral routes. Some patients have had an episode of conjunctivitis before pneumonia, thus raising the hypothesis that the ocular mucosa is a possible transmission route for SARS-CoV-2, since the cornea and conjunctiva show expression of the ACE2 receptor, which is responsible for entry of the virus cells. 4 Presence of the ACE2 infection receptor in the aqueous humor of humans has also been described. 5 ACE2 is a crucial receptor for SARS-CoV-2 in vivo: in an experiment on mice, an injection of SARS-CoV spike worsened acute lung failure in vivo, which was then attenuated by blocking the renin-angiotensin pathway. 6,7 OBJECTIVEThe objective of this narrative review was to summarize the currently available evidence on COVID-19 with regard to its implications for ophthalmology.

“…Para isso podem ser desenvolvidos modelos de ensino de baixo custo que incentivem a participação do aluno desde a sua construção, permitindo que entendam os princípios físicos do exame e que possam ter seu próprio modelo em casa para praticar sempre que for necessário. (4) A necessidade de atendimento da população somada a falta de profissionais qualificados para realizar essa triagem tem contribuído para o desenvolvimento de outras estratégias de atendimento como a tele oftalmologia e o algoritmos que permitem o diagnóstico e triagem automáticos sem a intervenção humana. Dessa forma, é importante o desenvolvimento de novas metodologias de ensino para o resgate desse importante exame criado em 1850 por Hermann Von Helmholtz (1821-1894).…”
