title: Possible intraocular lens contamination by surgical glove powder.
abstract: Contamination of the operative field by glove powders, even after washing and wiping, is a well-described entity. We present a case of presumed secondary intraocular lens contamination by surgical glove powder. This complication can be avoided by being sure that no intraocular surgical instruments or implants are directly handled by the fingers.
