Operating theatres expose health workers to close contact with body fluids and thus to the risk of contracting blood-borne infections. The conjunctiva of the eye offers a portal of entry for infection; an abrasive mixture of bone, marrow and blood propelled at high speed by power tools and reamers could damage any epithelial surface. 100 consecutive operations were studied and contaminating particles were counted on the glasses lens. 67% out of 100 times the surgeon's and the assistant's glasses were contaminated. Orthopaedic surgeons work in a high-risk environment and should protect themselves against possible contamination of the conjunctiva by wearing glasses with broad lens.
手术室使医护人员密切接触体液，从而有感染血源性疾病的风险。眼部结膜为感染提供了一个入口；电动工具和扩孔钻高速推进的骨、骨髓和血液的研磨混合物可能会损伤任何上皮表面。对连续100例手术进行了研究，并对眼镜镜片上的污染颗粒进行了计数。在100次手术中，有67次外科医生和助手的眼镜被污染。骨科医生在高风险环境中工作，应佩戴宽镜片眼镜以保护自己的结膜免受可能的污染。
