Hi All,
I am interested in what your patients wear when they are going to theatre for cataract surgery. We have had some debate around the need to wear gowns.
Our patients currently are asked to remove their clothing (except for underpants) and wear a theatre gown. However, I am aware that some of the day theatres only ask patients to remove their upper clothing and wear a gown, but they can keep on their lower clothing (minus shoes).
What evidence have you used for your decision?
Many thanks for your consideration.

Hi Margaret
We have both day only and inpatient’s having eye surgery in our operating theatres. Our decision was to have patients also remove all their clothing – except underwear. Otherwise, it would be very confusing for patients and staff.Thanks
