Global Ophthalmic Viscosurgical Devices Market by Analysis of Major Industry Segments 2017 - 2025
Ophthalmic viscosurgical devices (OVDs) are used in cataract surgery as a viscoelastic solution to create and maintain space in the anterior chamber of the eye. OVDs have generally been used during phacoemulsification, implantation of intraocular lens, to protect corneal endothelium, and as a coating to surgical instruments. OVDs are transparent, gel like viscous substances having elastic properties. OVDs have properties of both fluids and solids. The differentiating feature in OVDs can be because of viscosity, pseudoplasticity, viscoelasticity, and coatability.
