Mutated omicron can It enters the human body through the eyesThis was confirmed by a Russian expert.
The director of the Russian Genetic Research Center, Andrei Isaev, revealed that “the eye is often a gateway to transmission of infection,” noting that such cases are usually accompanied by signs of disease represented by conjunctivitis, followed by a headache and a runny nose.
According to the director of the Genetic Research Center, there are patients who were infected with the “delta” mutant last October, and in January they were infected again with the Corona virus, adding that these cases are most likely infections with the “Omicron” mutant.
Earlier, an expert in the field of infectious diseases, Nikolai Malyshev, stressed in an interview with the newspaper “Nation News”, the importance of monitoring and tightening preventive measures in light of the outbreak of the “Omicron” mutant.
It should be noted that the “Omicron” mutant, which was discovered last November in South Africa, is the fastest spreading strain compared to the rest of the strains that have been discovered since the emergence of the Corona virus.
Many symptoms are adopted by health organizations around the world regarding the variant or mutant of the new Corona “Omicron”, at the beginning of its emergence and spread, they confirmed that its symptoms include a runny nose, severe fatigue, muscle inflammation, sore throat, and a dry cough.
But with the passage of days and the increase in scientific research on this new variant, many other symptoms were developed, as Dr. Nina Aslam, a consultant in internal medicine in Britain, warned that one of the symptoms of the “Omicron” mutant is the emergence of inflammation in the eye.
The Corona pandemic has awakened the countries of the world to another epidemic, dry eye disease (DED), a condition in which tears do not provide adequate hydration to the eyes, either due to insufficient production or poor retention of them in the eyes.
People with this condition often experience a burning sensation while working on electronic devices for extended periods, and some may experience blurred vision (blurring, as is common) especially while driving.
