From a recent episode of This Week in Virology[1]:

"Historically, in a lot of health care settings there was limited attention [to eye protection], and part of droplet protection, part of being protected when someone coughs or sneezes is protecting your eyes as well. Actually, going in to this I was pretty heavy on re-education at one of the hospitals about: if someone's on droplet, you gotta protect your eyes. Because influenza, you get that in your eyes you can get infected. SARS-CoV-2, you get that in your eyes you can end up with COVID-19. So eye protection is important as well."
