誗 AIM: To evaluate the efficiency and safety of 50g / L povidone-iodine solution in preventing postoperative endophthalmitis through comparing the incidence of postoperative endophthalmitis and adverse reactions after conjunctival sac washing with povidone-iodine of different concentrations. 誗 METHODS: Totally 500 cataract patients were divided into 50g / L povidone-iodine group and 25g / L povidone-iodine group. All the operated eyes were observed during and after surgery. The patients蒺

No significant difference in the corneal epithelial loss and endophthalmitis was observed between two groups. 誗 CONCLUSION: Conjunctival sac washing with 50g / L povidone-iodine is an effective and safe measure to prevent endophthalmitis after cataract surgery. 誗
