PURPOSE: To compare the effect of povidone-iodine (PI) 5% and moxifloxacin 0.5% solutions versus PI 5% solution alone on the conjunctival bacterial flora.
METHODOLOGY: This is a comparative study in which the study population comprised adult patients scheduled for elective small incision cataract surgery. The eye to be operated (control eye) received topical moxifloxacin 0.5% drops 4 times, 1 day before surgery and 2 applications on the day of surgery. As placebo, the contralateral eye (study eye) received saline 0.90% drops as per the same schedule. Before surgery, on table, PI 5% was instilled in the conjunctival sac in both eyes. Conjunctival swabs were taken before initiation of therapy and 3 min after instillation of PI.
RESULTS: Of the 96 pairs of eyes included in the study, conjunctival cultures before prophylaxis were similar between the two groups (p = 0.31), with 54 samples (56%) of the study group and 49 (51%) of the control group showing growth. With positive cultures reducing to 7 (14%) in the study group and 8 (16%) in the control group, both the prophylaxis methods appeared equally efficacious (p = 0.79). Both the groups showed a significant reduction in positive cultures following prophylaxis (p < 0.0001).
CONCLUSIONS: PI 5% alone as preoperative prophylaxis was as effective as its combination therapy with moxifloxacin 0.5% in the reduction in conjunctival bacterial colonization.
