Betadine 5% Povidone-Iodine Sterile Ophthalmic Prep Solution – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
  • What is Betadine 5% Povidone-Iodine Ophthalmic Prep Solution used for?

    It is used to disinfect and reduce the risk of infection in and around the eye before eye surgeries or procedures, such as cataract surgery, intravitreal injections, corneal transplants, and other ophthalmic operations.

  • How is Betadine Ophthalmic Prep Solution applied?

    A healthcare professional applies the sterile solution directly to the eyelids, lashes, and/or ocular surface, typically just before the procedure.

  • Does Betadine 5% hurt when applied to the eye?

    Some patients may experience mild burning, stinging, or irritation for a short time after the solution is applied, but this usually resolves quickly.

  • Is Betadine 5% safe for use in the eye?

    Yes, when used as directed by a trained professional, Betadine 5% is considered safe for ophthalmic use and is commonly used in surgical eye care.

  • Are there any side effects?

    Possible side effects include temporary eye redness, irritation, burning, or a brownish discoloration of tears. Rarely, allergic reactions can occur.

  • Who should NOT receive Betadine Ophthalmic Prep Solution?

    Anyone with a known allergy to iodine or povidone-iodine should not receive this product. Tell your doctor if you have a history of allergic reactions to iodine or Betadine.

  • Can Betadine be used in children or pregnant women?

    Yes, it is often safely used in pediatric and obstetric ophthalmic procedures, but always inform your provider about pregnancy, breastfeeding, or any health concerns.

  • What should I do if I have a reaction to Betadine?

    If you experience severe redness, pain, swelling, difficulty seeing, or signs of allergy (such as rash, itching, or trouble breathing), alert your healthcare team right away.

  • Does Betadine 5% affect vision after use?

    Temporary blurred vision may occur due to irritation or the presence of the brown solution, but this typically clears up rapidly after the eye is rinsed or the procedure is completed.

  • Is Betadine Ophthalmic Prep Solution used to treat infections?

    No. Its main use is to prevent infection before and during procedures, not to treat active eye infections.

  • How long does Betadine stay in the eye?

    It is usually left in contact with the eye surface for a few seconds to a few minutes, then rinsed or blotted away before the start of the procedure.

  • Can I wear contact lenses after Betadine prep?

    You should not wear contact lenses while your eyes are being prepped. Use fresh lenses after your procedure if your eye doctor approves.

  • Can Betadine stain the skin or clothing?

    Yes, it may temporarily stain skin or clothing brown. Stains on skin usually fade as the iodine wears off.

  • Will Betadine interact with any of my regular eye drops or medications?

    There are generally no significant interactions, but inform your provider about all medications and eye drops prior to the procedure.

  • Why is Betadine preferred over antibiotics for prep?

    Betadine covers a wide range of bacteria and viruses and there is no risk of antibiotic resistance, making it the standard for ophthalmic surgical prep.
