Powdered and powder-free gloves were compared during ophthalmic surgery. It was found that powder may reappear on well-rinsed gloves by the end of intraocular surgery and be implanted inadvertently into the eye or in the stromal interface during laser in situ keratomileusis. Powder-free gloves, therefore, make surgery significantly safer.
