Those who wear glasses less likely to get COVID, study says - WJXT News4JAX

The study, out of India, found people who wear glasses are three times less likely to get the virus because they’re less likely to touch their eyes, WABC-TV reported.

The study, conducted last summer in Kanpur Dehat, involved 304 patients, ages 10 to 80.

Researchers noted that COVID-19 infection through the eyes is extremely rare, but they said that droplets from the virus can easily go from the eyes to one’s nose or mouth, WABC-TV reported.
