    Summary

    Minimizing conjunctival bacteria before eye surgery is crucial. Povidone-iodine (PVP-I) offers a well-tolerated antiseptic for preoperative preparation, showing promise in cataract extraction procedures.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Microbiology
    • Surgical Preparation

    Background:

    • Minimizing bacterial load on the conjunctiva before intraocular surgery is essential.
    • Antiseptic measures are preferred over antibiotics due to bacteriological considerations.
    • A lack of well-tolerated antiseptic agents for ocular surfaces limited preoperative options.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and tolerance of povidone-iodine (PVP-I) as a preoperative antiseptic for intraocular surgery.
    • To assess PVP-I's suitability for preparing the conjunctiva and cornea prior to cataract extraction.

    Main Methods:

    • Preoperative preparation of 41 eyes using PVP-I.
    • Evaluation of PVP-I's tolerance on the cornea and conjunctiva.
    • Assessment of bacterial reduction on the conjunctiva.

    Main Results:

    • PVP-I demonstrated good tolerance on both the cornea and conjunctiva.
    • Successful preoperative bacterial reduction was achieved.
    • Positive outcomes were observed in the context of previous successes with PVP-I in treating keratoconjunctivitis.

    Conclusions:

    • Povidone-iodine (PVP-I) is a well-tolerated and effective antiseptic for preoperative ocular surface preparation.
    • PVP-I represents a viable option for reducing bacterial contamination before cataract extraction.
    • The study supports the use of PVP-I in ophthalmic antisepsis.
