In vitro antimicrobial activity of a new ophthalmic solution containing povidone-iodine 0.6% (IODIM® ).

IODIM® ophthalmic solution showed in vitro antimicrobial activity against S. epidermidis, S. aureus, P. aeruginosa and Candida species. Results suggest that it may be a potential candidate for the treatment of ocular surface infections and antimicrobial prophylaxis before intravitreal injections.
