Resumen de Using OVDs for glaucoma surgery

Steve A. Arshinof, Marjorie Carbonneau

• ABSTRACT: We have reviewed currently available OVDs and their classification. Their use in unusual problems of cataract surgery demonstrates that generally a variant of Soft Shell techniques is optimal for unusual problems and complications. This differs in glaucoma surgery, where space creation and maintenance is the usual goal, making highly viscous cohesive OVDs, and sometimes viscoadaptives the usual agents of choice.
