1. Identify high risk patient before detecting surgery – chronic blepharitis, lacrimal drainage abnormalities, prothesis in fellow eye, actin injection elsewhere

2. Preparation of operation field:Pre op preparation in block room using povidine Iodine solution 10%Second preparation immediately before surgeryDrape to cover lashes and lid margins

3. AntibioticsPre operation topical antibiotics, subconjuntival antibiotic at the end of surgerys. Antibiotis in irrigating solution
