Abstract
There is no significant difference between the effect of topical povidone-iodine 1.25% and topical antibiotics commonly available in the developing world for treatment of bacterial keratitis. Povidone-iodine 1.25%, which is widely available and inexpensive, can be considered for treatment of bacterial keratitis when antibiotic treatment is not practical.
