| Description |
| Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose is a non pyrigenic viscoelastic solution that maintains anterior chamber & protects tissues when used in anterior segment surgeries, it allows foe more efficient manipulation with less trauma to the ocular tissues, such as corneal endothelium, by maintaining a deep chamber. The viscoelastic properties of Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose facilitate pushing back the vitreous face, which prevents the formation of a post operative flat chamber. |
