Some observations of scientists have shown that people who, due to poor eyesight, are forced to wear glasses, are less at risk of contracting a new coronavirus.. A group of Norwegian researchers decided to test this theory by conducting an experiment.. This was reported on the pages of the NRK portal..

Previously, it has been repeatedly reported about the ability of the virus to use mucous surfaces for its penetration into the human body.. The eyes are no exception in this case.. According to previous studies, in this case, glasses, both corrective vision and sunglasses, can become an obstacle to infection with the virus, according to Pannochka, an online publication for girls and women from 14 to 35 years old.. net Scientists from the Norwegian Institute of Public Health decided to investigate the relationship between the likelihood of contracting a new coronavirus and wearing glasses. To participate in the experiment, scientists invite volunteers who have never worn glasses before and have not been infected with a new coronavirus over the past two months.. In total, the study is planned to involve about 20,000 volunteers, who will subsequently be divided into two groups.. One group of participants will have to wear glasses in a normal setting, and the other will have to walk without them..

Comparison of the results will help to determine the percentage of the diseased among the “bespectacled” participants and those who do not use glasses.. The final results in the future can be used in the preparation of recommendations to help avoid infection..

It is also reported about the parallel conduct of a similar study by Danish specialists.. Subsequently, a comparative analysis of the results of a study of data from these two countries will be carried out..
