What is Ophthalmic Viscosurgical Devices Market?
Ophthalmic viscosurgical devices are essential apparatus for the anterior segment surgeon, are Ophthalmic viscosurgical devices transparent, gel-like substances that have viscous and elastic properties. Composed of sodium hyaluronate, chondroitin sulfate, and methylcellulose, they vary in molecular weights and viscosities, and can be classified into two general categories: cohesive and dispersive. Ophthalmic viscosurgical devices are used during surgery in order to maintain and preserve space, displace and stabilize tissue, and coat and protect tissue. Examples of these functions during cataract surgery include: maintaining the anterior chamber during the capsulorhexis and IOL insertion, preventing iris prolapse and trapping nuclear fragments, and protecting the corneal endothelium from turbulence, lens material, and ultrasound energy, respectively. Since their introduction in the early 1970s, ophthalmic viscosurgical devices (OVD) have revolutionized cataract surgery as well as IOL implantation. According to the research done by World Health Organization, cataract is responsible for half of the reversible blindness on the planet. The Interregional Association of Ophthalmologists reports that about half a million cataract operations are performed in the Russian Federation annually.
