Table I. Eyewear in 12,940 patients versus COVID-19 infection.

Eyewear was associated with a lower infection incidence (p<0.001, Fisher exact test two tailed). UKB assessed and tabulated eyewear with a touchscreen question "Do you wear glasses or contact lenses to correct your vision?" 69% of people in the UK wear glasses, 13% wear contact lenses, according to the College of Optometrists. According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), there is no evidence to suggest contact lens wearers are more at risk for acquiring COVID-19 than eyeglass wearers.
