Abstract

Chlorhexidine Hydrogen peroxide Povidone-iodine Prophylaxis
In this chapter, we discuss techniques in the prophylaxis of infection by inhibiting or arresting the growth and multiplication of germs (infectious agents) which is usually achieved by povidone-iodine, hydrogen peroxide, chlorhexidine, or polyhexanide application on the skin. We also discuss the settings in which topical antibiotics and intracameral antibiotics may be utilized.
