- Abstract
Polyvinylpyrrolidone-Iodine (PVP-I) is routinely used as preoperative antiseptic during ophthalmic surgery. Iodine absorption from iodine-containing antiseptics can lead to the development of thyroid disorders. Therefore, a quantitative measurement of iodine absorption from these antiseptics was performed in patients undergoing elective cataract surgery.
