Zusammenfassung
Die guten Erfahrungen, die von uns bei der Behandlung bakterieller und virusbedingter Keratokonjunktivitiden mit PVP-Jod-Präparaten in augenverträglicher Konzentration gemacht wurden, bewogen uns, in einer Reihe von 41 Kataraktoperationen PVP-Jod-Ophthalmicum zur präoperativen Vorbereitung zu verwenden. Die guten Resultate zeigen, dass dieses Antiseptikum als Alternative zu bislang praktizierten Verfahren zweifelsohne seine Berechtigung hat.
Summary
The importance of minimizing the number of bacteria on the conjunctive before intraocular surgery has been undisputed for many years now. Bacteriological considerations led to antiseptic measures being preferred to antibiotics. Until recently there was no antiseptic agent available which was tolerated by both the cornea and the conjunctiva. The good results obtained in the treatment of bacterial and viral keratoconjunctivitis with PVP iodine led to this study of the preoperative preparation of 41 eyes prior to cataract extraction.
