Could your eye numbing gel be blocking Germ-Killing medicine?

NCT ID NCT05934253

Summary

This study checked if a specific numbing eye gel (Iheezo) acts as a barrier and stops an antiseptic (povidone-iodine) from killing germs before eye surgery. Researchers compared it to a different, thinner numbing drop (tetracaine) in 100 patients. They measured bacteria on the eye's surface before and after applying the numbing medicine and antiseptic to see if the gel blocked its effect.
