Scrubs	There is no evidence that scrubs reduce surgical site infection (SSIs). However, since the injector is required to perform a surgical scrub before IVT, wearing scrubs may be preferable to a plastic apron.
Sterile gloves	The injector must carry out a full decontamination hand scrub before performing IVT45 and use gloves to prevent direct transfer of any residual bacteria from the injector’s hands to the sterile field or surgical site.
Caps	Wearing head cover is useful in keeping small amounts of hair or airborne bacteria away from the operative site.46,47
Masks	Publications from the US and RCOphth guidance recommend that masks are worn by the injector, since their face is quite close to the operative field and a greater proportion of bacterial growth from endophthalmitis cases due to intravitreal injections appear to consist of oral flora.44,48
