In this episode of the New Retina Radio Journal Club with VBS, Maura Di Nicola, MD; Sruthi Arepalli, MD, and Barton Blackorby, MD, discuss a recent study comparing endophthalmitis rates following anti-VEGF injections with pre-treatment using either 5% Povidone Iodine or 0.05% Chlorhexidine. They highlight how prefilled syringes can reduce the risk of endophthalmitis and explore the implications for clinical practice, including antiseptic protocols, patient sensitivities, and how to navigate conflicting study outcomes. Tune in for valuable insights that could influence your injection protocols.
