Evaluation: Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-Coronavirus-2 RNA in Human Corneal Tissues

To examine corneal tissue for SARS-CoV-19 positivity and to deduct implications for tissue procurement, processing, corneal transplantation and ocular surgery on COVID-19 patients. We performed using qRT-PCR-testings for SARS-CoV-2 RNA on corneal stroma and endothelium, bulbar conjunctiva, conjunctival fluid swabs, anterior chamber fluid and corneal epithelium of COVID-19 postmortem donors.
