During COVID crisis, the use of a 90D lens with the doctor’s hands close to patients’ masks and mouth poses a risk of contamination. To minimise the hazard, Dr Prithvi Chandrakanth, Retina Fellow at AEH, Coimbatore came up with an innovative solution of creating a low cost 90 D holder with a plastic cable concealer. This intuitive modification is easy to construct and does not require any additional charges. An appropriately sized hole is made on the plastic cable cover to fit in the 90D lens, we have a safe and germ proof lens holder!
