The current COVID-19 situation has been taking a high toll on the healthcare workers who are at constant risk of exposure to the contagion, especially those who are involved in treating the COVID-19 infected patients. The risk of exposure is further high during the surgical procedures, considering the aerosol generation and prolonged contact with the patients. Performing orthopedic surgeries in PPEs (personal-protective-equipment) is not an easy task. Besides the cumbersome body coverage of PPE gown and hood, and the N95 masks which result in early fatigue and exhaustion, a constantly frustrating issue is the fogging of eyewear which limits surgeon’s vision and ability to perform fine tasks [1].
