Studies find that people who wear glasses at least eight hours a day contract COVID-19 less than those who don't wear glasses.

But when it comes to protection against COVID-19, a new study has found that wearing glasses may be worth the frustration.

According to a report by WKYC 3, multiple studies have shown that of the people who contract COVID-19, those who wear glasses at least eight hours a day make up a lesser percentage of that group than those who don’t wear glasses.

The author says “about 40% of India’s adult population wears glasses, but only 19% of the people infected with coronavirus wore glasses.” The conclusion reached by the researchers was that “the risk of COVID-19 was about 2 to 3 times less in the spectacles wearing population than the population not wearing them.”.

Professor Bar-Yam said this: “You should definitely - if you’re wearing glasses or goggles - you should wash them with soap after you use them,” adding, “If you go into a place where you might be exposed to virus particles.”.
