Topical Povidone Iodine 2.5% Versus 5% for Endophthalmitis Prophylaxis During Intravitreal Injections

In this retrospective study, we found that 2.5% and 5% PI had similar results in preventing post-IVI endophthalmitis. This study adds to the literature by further supporting the antiseptic effect of 2.5% PI for IVI. Larger prospective studies are needed to further clarify the antiseptic effect and ocular surface irritation associated with 2.5% PI use.

Abstract

In this retrospective study, we found that 2.5% and 5% PI had similar results in preventing post-IVI endophthalmitis. This study adds to the literature by further supporting the antiseptic effect of 2.5% PI for IVI. Larger prospective studies are needed to further clarify the antiseptic effect and ocular surface irritation associated with 2.5% PI use.
