While no currently studied therapeutic agents have been found to reliably treat COVID-19, early vaccination trials are progressing and show promise.

Comparative StudyOcular trauma during COVID-19 stay-at-home orders: a comparative cohort study.
The aim of this study was to report characteristics of patients presenting with serious ocular injuries during the COVID-19 stay-at-home orders. ⋯ During the COVID-19 pandemic, patients with ocular trauma were more likely to have injuries sustained at home and have additional barriers to care. These changes underscore a need for targeted interventions to optimize emergent eye care during a pandemic.
