Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of two topical antiseptics, povidone-iodine (PVI) and chlorhexidine (CHX), in reducing conjunctival bacterial flora.


Clinical Trial Description

70 patients undergoing cataract surgery were enrolled and randomly divided in two arms: 35 patients used PVI 0.66% 4 times daily starting 3 days before surgery; 35 patients used CHX 0.02% with the same posology. The contralateral eye was considered as control. Conjunctival swabs were collected in both eyes at the baseline (T0) and after three days of treatment (T1) all before cataract surgery. Conjunctival bacterial load has been evaluated through a molecular based method at T0 and T1 and compared to the control eye. ;
