Summary
The hypothesis is that povidone iodine alone is sufficient for sterilization of the lacrimal
sac and eye lids before intraocular surgeries. Patients admitted for various intraocular
surgeries will be randomly allocated to prophylactic local therapy with either moxifloxacin
and povidone iodine or povidone iodine alone before surgery. Lacrimal sac and eye lid
cultures will be obtained before the local therapy and just before surgery.
