Povidone-Iodine (PVP-I) solutions stable according to U.S.P. standards and a method for preparing the same are disclosed. The PVP-I solution includes a microbicidal effective amount of available iodine and an alkalinizing agent in an effective amount to maintain the stability of the solution for a desired shelf-life of the solution when said solution is stored in a substantially nonpermeable container, the solution being non-buffered. In preferred embodiments, the iodophor solution is a microbicidal PVP-I solution for ophthalmic use.
