 AB    The recent case of an Italian nurse waiting for compensation after
       contracting HIV from a splash to her eye (1) has highlighted the serious
       risk of contracting infection through the eye conjunctiva. In this
       article, the author suggests nurses need to take more notice of
       recommendations and guidelines that they should wear eye protection when
       performing procedures likely to cause splashes to the eye.
