A new histological evaluation method to detect residual ophthalmic viscosurgical devices for cataract surgery

Purpose: To establish a new evaluation method to quantify residual ophthalmic viscosurgical device (OVD) volume and corneal endothelium adhesion properties for phacoemulsification surgery. Methods: We compared the performance of four OVDs (Viscoat®, Healon5®, Healon® and DisCoVisc®) using porcine ey...
