AIOS Guidelines to Prevent Intraocular Infection 2009 (2009) by All India Ophthalmological Society PDF

Description

Post-Operative Endophthalmitis is a scary and disastrous complication of Intraocular Surgery. Despite all precautions, infections do occur in best of hands and best of set ups. Our aim should be to minimize the occurrence of Endophthalmitis by taking adequate pre-operative / operative & post operative measurers. In order to evolve guidelines to prevent or minimize post operative infections, a workshop was held under the aegis of AIOS. Twenty two (22) experts from across the country formed three (3) groups. Each group drafted its recommendations which were then merged, deliberated in detail and a consensus evolved. These guidelines are a synopsis of the consensus arrived at that workshop. I thank all the participants for their valuable time & help. Special thanks to Dr. K.P.S. Malik (the then President of AIOS) for motivating me to carry out this exercise; to Dr. Babu Rajendran, President of AIOS for his critical appraisal of this document; to Dr. Rajvardhan Azad, President Elect for all his help & to M/s Cipla for sponsoring the event. I hope this document is of help to all the Ophthalmologists. For any suggestion or feedback, please feel free to contact me, or you could also communicate with AIOS Secretariat.
