摘要

We read with interest the review article in volume 9 issue 5 Journal of Acute Disease, entitled "Using point-of-care ultrasound in ocular emergencies: a mini review" by Builes et al. Ocular point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is gaining popularity under the COVID-19 pandemic, as physicians are of close proximity to patients under normal practice with slit lamp and direct ophthalmoscope. With the help of POCUS, patients with ocular emergencies could be evaluated at a distance, without even a need to share mydriatic eye drops across patients. Therefore, we would like to update the current evidence on ocular POCUS usage.
