CASE REPORT/OBSERVATIONS: A 24-year-old healthy man developed severe conjunctivitis in his right eye, followed by his left eye 4 days after fever and myalgia. He reported yellowish conjunctival discharge, foreign body sensation, redness, and tearing, and those symptoms were resolved in 10 days. Analyses of nasopharyngeal secretions identified SARS-CoV-2 by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). CONCLUSION: Mild COVID-19 can cause severe bilateral conjunctivitis. The ophthalmologist may be aware of conjunctival secretions, a possible path of infection, during eye checkup.
