Detailed Description
Purpose To evaluate whether the volume of wash out rinse after povidone iodine (PI) application for intravitreal injections (IVI) affects patients' ocular surface irritation.
Methods This was a prospective, single-masked, randomized-controlled trial consisting of 142 subjects . A total of 51, 45, and 46 patients received 3-mL, 10-mL, and 15-mL of ocular rinse respectively. Reductions in the Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) and the Standardized Patient Evaluation of Eye Dryness II (SPEED II) surveys, conducted before and at 24-72 hours post-injection, were analyzed.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Ocular Surface Disease Index [24-72 hours after injection]

Secondary Outcome Measures
- Standardized Patient Evaluation of Eye Dryness II [24-72 hours after injection]
Patient symptoms questionnaire, range 0-48, higher score is associated with worse outcome.
