Ophthalmic Viscoelastic Device (OVD)
A highly-viscous, cohesive OVD (Ophthalmic Viscoelastic Device)
Better coating abilities and therefore better protection of the endothelium during phacoemulsification
Smooth, more controlled unfolding of the IOL in the capsular bag
This may result in a lower increase in postoperative corneal thickness and a lower decrease in postoperative ECD.
Key Features & Benefits
Allows for a clear view of the surgical field during diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in the eye.
Offers an effective anterior chamber stabilization.
Excellent biocompatibility.
Sufficient endothelial cell protection.
Can easily be removed after surgery.
Megacrom
Indication
Indication - Intended for intraocular use during ophthalmic anterior and posterior segment surgery. It protects the intraocular tissue and prevents adhesions and synechia formation during the procedure.
Progress in cataract surgery
Cataracts are treated by surgically removing the cataract and implanting an artificial replacement called an intraocular lens (IOL). Recent advances in the cataract surgery procedure have gradually reduced the size of the incisions needed for surgery from 12mm to 1.4mm, making it safer and less invasive.
