Abstract

In this chapter, we discuss techniques in the prophylaxis of infection by inhibiting or arresting the growth and multiplication of germs (infectious agents) which is usually achieved by povidone-iodine, hydrogen peroxide, chlorhexidine, or polyhexanide application on the skin. We also discuss the settings in which topical antibiotics and intracameral antibiotics may be utilized.
