Three cases of bilateral severe loss of vision (ranging from 20/800 vision to the perception of hand motions only) after thoracoscopic surgery involving resection of parts of one lung and instillation of 200 to 500 ml of Jodobac, a 10% povidone–iodine solution, into the thoracic cavity for disinfection and to cause scarring of the pleura for prophylaxis against pneumothorax have been reported in the latest issue of the New England Journal Of Medicine.
