New Retina Radio Journal Club with VBS: Comparison of Antiseptics Use for IVT
How do endophthalmitis rates after intravitreal injection differ after using povidone-iodine compared with chlorhexidine? Moderator Sruthi Arepalli, MD, hears from panelists Vaidehi Dedania, MD, and Rebecca Soares, MD, MPH, about a recent peer-reviewed retrospective cohort study on this topic. After the break, the trio discuss how to manage patients who do not tolerate antiseptics, the benefits of visualizing antiseptics on the conjunctiva, and the specific practice patterns that work best in their clinics.
