Abstrakt:	Individuals with suspected COVID-19 symptoms (n=202) were tested using nasopharyngeal RT-qPCR. All individuals underwent corneal esthesiometry measurements using the Cochet-Bonnet esthesiometer during their first visit; 50 participants underwent an additional measurement at a mean interval of 32.5 (17.8) days. COVID-19 was confirmed in 101 subjects (50%) using nasopharyngeal PCR. The mean time from symptom onset to disease diagnosis and corneal esthesiometry was 4.2 (2.1) days. Mean corneal esthesiometry findings based on the positive and negative PCR status indicated no statistical difference. This study demonstrated that COVID-19 had no effect on corneal esthesiometry in individuals with acute-phase COVID-19. Competing Interests: Competing interests: None declared.
