Do you always wear eye protection when circulating?

Most people don't. I think I am going to start doing so.

Specializes in OR.
Or a pulse-evac squirting.

Exactly!

Specializes in surgical, emergency.

In a word,,,,no. For the most part, I feel that I'm too far from the field to warrant wearing specs. Not a bad idea, but I don't. I wear glasses, have for years. When I first needed them, I used bi-focals, glass on top, so that I did have a small about of protection.

When I scrub, I wear a face shield, or a "space helmet" during ortho cases.
