Evaluation of the Rheological Properties, Preclinical Safety, and Clinical Effectiveness of a New Dispersive Ophthalmic Viscoelastic Device for Cataract Surgery
Abstract:To evaluate the rheological properties of the ophthalmic viscoelastic device (OVD) PRO-149, its preclinical safety, and its effectiveness when used during cataract surgery in patients with age-related cataract. Material and Methods: Control (HEC) and test (PRO-149) OVDs were compared through rheological measures, by two preclinical safety studies in rabbits, and under normal-use conditions during cataract removal and lens implantation in a parallel randomized clinical trial. Results: Rheological properties wer… Show more
