Personal protective equipment (PPE) has become the gold standard during the COVID-19 pandemic for prevention of infection. In the long term, these difficulties may hamper the performance of healthcare workers like ophthalmologists, whose work demands high precision. Although it has become a norm, the evidence is already clear that many ophthalmologists and eye care professionals are having difficulties related to PPE use. 6 Although this may be an advantage because much of the "design for the greatest ease of use" would have already been already improvised, many such DIY efforts remain unproven in terms of the actual protection they provide.
