In order to understand the social distancing phenomenon and airborne pathogen spread during the ophthalmic examination, two scenarios with two different conditions based on exit flow velocities were considered: The configurations for these cases are depicted in Fig. 2 . For instance, in case of an exit flow of~12,000 mm/s without any preventive action, Fig. 4 Airborne particle projection during the ophthalmic examination with the protective breath shield: a exhalation (the maximum flow velocity at the exit from the patient's mouth is~1000 mm/s), b coughing/sneezing (the maximum flow velocity at the exit from the patient's mouth is~12,000 mm/s) the average horizontal distance of the flow front was obtained to be~1300 mm. ./cache/cord-272248-d0ybu9o3.txt ./txt/cord-272248-d0ybu9o3.txt
