597例患者中有11例（1.8%）在朊病毒病发病前或发病后1个月内接受了眼科手术。所有眼科医生都重复使用未完全消毒的手术器械，以消除感染性朊病毒蛋白。眼科医生应该意识到朊病毒疾病是视觉症状的可能原因，并尽可能使用一次性仪器。
Eleven (1.8%) of 597 patients underwent ophthalmic surgery within 1 month before the onset of prion disease or after the onset. All ophthalmologists reused surgical instruments that had been incompletely sterilized to eliminate infectious prion protein. Ophthalmologists should be aware of prion diseases as a possible cause of visual symptoms and use disposable instruments whenever possible.
