https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/f/clinical-discussions/31508/iodine-eye-flush Hey all! I&#39;m thinking about changing our current protocol for ophthalmology eye preps. Currently using a low concentration iodine, followed by 10ml flush of sterile water in each eye. Only had one bad reaction so far. 7m French Bulldog in for anen-USTelligent Community 10https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/174191?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 22 Feb 2019 17:50:39 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:45cc4093-66c4-4762-b5e0-64a47c19b4e5Sierra Bravo<p>Do you use a new bag each time you do it? and is that in a 500ml bag?<img src="/emoticons/new/Very_happy_smiley.png" alt="Very Happy" /></p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/174132?ContentTypeID=1Sun, 17 Feb 2019 21:26:43 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:850f74e2-26a0-48e7-ba52-8e9929edf75dV E S<p>Our protocol is flush with hartmanns, then a 1:20 iodine pre then flush with saline.</p> <p>We had an article that specifically stated best to flush with hartmanns first...though I can&#39;t remember why!!</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/174072?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 11 Feb 2019 11:53:22 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:61fded7f-bb0c-440e-aafd-5f80578c2cdemurphy-x<p>We will do three or four ophthalmic&nbsp;surgeries per week and use a weak iodine solution (weak tea colour is how I make it) and then&nbsp;20ml sterile&nbsp;water flush in each eye.
