Experimental: Open label test arm
Subjects will have their right eye treated with 5% Povidone Iodine per standard institutional protocol prior to receiving their intravitreal injection (2 drops of PI followed by application of 3.5% non-preserved lidocaine gel for 10 minutes, followed by 1 drop of PI for 30 seconds prior to injection). Subjects will have their left eye treated with Avenova per the same application protocol as PI prior to receiving their intravitreal injection. Prior to and following disinfecting both eyes but before the injection, a physician will gently swab the inferior conjunctival fornix (white part of each eye below the lower eye lid) with an ocular brush. Swabs will be cultured to compare bacterial counts. Subjects will be asked to complete a questionnaire regarding comfort of the disinfectant and injection procedure in general immediately following the injection and 1-2 hours post-injection.

Current Secondary Outcome Measures ICMJE |
Change in colony forming unit (CFU) growth pre- and post-treatment with Povidone Iodine or Avenova to determine if Avenova is non-inferior to Povidone Iodine for ocular disinfection. [ Time Frame: Two time points: 30 seconds before disinfection starts (time point 0); and after the 10 minutes disinfection period and prior just prior to the injection (time point 1). ] Conjunctival swabs will be taken pre- and post-ocular disinfection and plated on Chocolate agar and blood agar. After incubating for 48 hours, average colony forming units from each agar type will be counted and the average of the ratio of [post-disinfection/pre-disinfection] will be compared between the Povisone Iodine treated eyes and the Avenova treated eyes for each agar type using a paired Student's T-Test.

Brief Summary | To compare the efficacy and comfort of two FDA approved pre-injection antiseptics when used for intravitreal injections. | ||||||
Detailed Description | Intravitreal injection of medicine has become the most common ocular procedure billed to Medicare. One of the main problems with this procedure is the postoperative discomfort due to the need to disinfect the eye with Povidone Iodine (PI). This disinfectant lowers the risk of endophthalmitis, but is very rough on the corneal epithelium, producing a type of corneal abrasion in many patients that is very uncomfortable in the first few days after injection. Many patients refuse the PI disinfection even though avoiding it increases the risk of endophthalmitis with the procedure. Recently another disinfectant has been FDA approved specifically for the eye to treat blepharitis and dry eye. Avenova (Av), a dilute solution of hypochlorous acid, is used several times a day for these conditions. Some practices have begun using it for PI sensitive patients before an intravitreal injection as it is FDA-approved for disinfecting peri-ocular structures. A recent in vitro study was published showing that it is superior to PI in kill times for bacteria cultured for endophthalmitis cases. Some physicians say it is superior to PI with respect to patient comfort, however, to date, there is little literature about its use for intravitreal injection. The objective of this study is to assess comfort levels between the two FDA-approved disinfection options and to compare disinfection rates between PI and Av. The hypothesis is that Av will be as effective or more effective in elimination ocular pathogens as PI and will be significantly more comfortable for patients. | ||||||
