NCT ID: NCT00386958 Completed - Corneal Ulcer Clinical Trials

A Clinical Trial of Povidone-Iodine for the Treatment of Bacterial Corneal Ulcers

Start date: November 2002
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

Bacterial corneal ulcers are a leading cause of pediatric blindness in underdeveloped countries due to a lack of antibiotic availability and affordability, among other reasons. Povidone-iodine, an inexpensive and readily available broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent, may be an effective and affordable treatment for corneal ulcers, allowing preservation of sight for those afflicted with this disease.
