摘要：
The study was a prospective study during which a hand-held lens was used to examine the goggles of all surgeons who used them during surgery at Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital, Kano, Nigeria. Only 169 (54.8%) of the 308 surgeons used eye protection during surgery. There was at least a bloodstain on 70 (41.4%) of the goggles. There is need to enforce universal precautions during surgery to protect the eyes of surgeons from blood drops of the patient being operated.
