Summary

The use of povidone iodine solution for prophylaxis of endophthalmitis is well established for intraocular procedures like cataract surgery and for injections of anti-VEGF agents for retinal diseases such as age-related macular degeneration. Unfortunately iodine is unfriendly to the ocular surface, and when repeated often enough (some patients require up to monthly injections of anti-VEGF agents for the entire year), corneal epitheliopathy and secondary dry eye results. Unfortunately, there is no good alternative to cleaning patient's eyelid at the moment. Ocudox is a relatively new antibacterial product (spraying on eyelid wipe) which contains Neutrox (pure hypochlorous acid) that kills many microbes, but remain very friendly and non-toxic for the ocular surface.
