Ophthalmic viscosurgical devices (OVDs) are a class of clear gel-like material used in eye surgery to maintain the volume and shape of the anterior chamber of the eye, and protect the intraocular tissues during the procedure.
Ophthalmic viscosurgical devices (OVDs), also known as viscoelastics, are injected into the anterior chamber to support, stabilize, and protect the eyeball to help maintain eye shape and volume during the procedure, and to distend the lens capsule during IOL implantation.
Ophthalmic viscosurgical devices (OVDs), which were introduced in 1972, facilitate the procedure and improve overall safety, particularly of phacoemulsification, by maintaining the shape of the eye at reduced pressure, and protecting the internal tissues of the eye without interfering with the operation.

Moreover, expanding the product's reach to North America will facilitate its penetration into the market. In April 2023, Bausch + Lomb, a Canadian eye health company, introduced the TotalVisc Viscoelastic System and the StableVisc cohesive ophthalmic viscosurgical device (OVD) to the United States market.
Ophthalmic viscosurgical devices (OVDs), which were introduced in 1972, facilitate the procedure and improve overall safety. An OVD is a viscoelastic solution, a gel-like substance used to maintain the shape of the eye at reduced pressure as well as to protect the inside structure and tissues of the eye without interfering with the operation.
After the IOL is inserted, ophthalmic viscosurgical devices are aspirated or flushed out and replaced with BSS. Residues of OVDs can cause raised intraocular pressure (IOP) by blocking the trabecular meshwork until they dissipate. IOP spikes can cause damage to the optic nerve and visual disturbances in patients with glaucoma.
