Of the 301 subjects included in the study, 180 patients (59.8%) were male and the median age was 72 years (IQ 59–82; 70 years in men and 75 years in women, P = 0.13). Overall, 35 patients (11.6%; 95% CI: 8.48–15.84) were diagnosed with acute conjunctivitis; of those, 10 (3.3%; 95% CI: 1.8–6.1) showed ocular manifestations on the day of the visit whereas 25 (8.3%; 95% CI: 5.6–12.1) reported having conjunctivitis in the previous days, seen by the primary care doctor. Upon ophthalmological examination of the 301 patients, other ocular disorders besides conjunctivitis were observed. Specifically, 3 patients presented subconjunctival hemorrhage, 4 patients had a moderate pterygion, and 2 patients had an hordeolum, which were managed with conservative treatment. In addition, a notification system was implemented for all healthcare personnel working at the COVID unit and evaluating the patients daily. Through this system, the on-call ophthalmologist was notified immediately with any new possible case of conjunctivitis until the date of discharge, which contacted the investigators.
