Clinical experience with povidone-iodine eye drops in patients with conjunctivitis and keratoconjunctivitis.
In 40 patients with conjunctivitis or keratoconjunctivitis povidone-iodine eye drops were either administered alone or in combination with a cortisone preparation. The antimicrobial activity in the concentration administered was adequate for the elimination of the causative organisms from the conjunctival sac in the majority of patients, and the preparation was well tolerated.
