PURPOSE & HANDLING

Chamber stability and
confident surgical flow.

OP‑VISC maintains anterior chamber depth, protects intraocular structures, and supports confident surgical manipulation, with a lower-viscosity feel built for spread and coating.

Chamber Maintenance

Maintains stable anterior chamber depth throughout surgical manoeuvres for confident, controlled procedures.

Consistent ~5000 cps Flow

Formulated at a lower working viscosity so it spreads and coats with less resistance through routine phacoemulsification steps.

Endothelial Protection

HPMC coats and protects the corneal endothelium during phacoemulsification and IOL implantation.

PFS Convenience

Prefilled syringe format eliminates preparation — ready for immediate, consistent delivery.

HOW VISCOELASTICS WORK

How HPMC viscoelastics
support cataract surgery.

HPMC-based OVDs are established anterior-segment surgical adjuncts that coat surfaces, maintain space, and protect tissue. OP‑VISC’s lower viscosity is formulated to favour spread and coating over maximum chamber firmness.

STEP 01

Chamber Injection

HPMC viscoelastic is injected into the anterior chamber, immediately creating a stable working space.

STEP 02

Surface Coating

Its lower-viscosity HPMC formulation is designed to coat the corneal endothelium and surrounding structures, forming a protective layer during phacoemulsification.

STEP 03

Space Maintenance

Maintains anterior chamber depth throughout the procedure, preventing collapse and supporting confident manipulation.

STEP 04

Easy Removal

At close of surgery, the viscoelastic is aspirated. HPMC is designed for straightforward removal from the anterior chamber.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Common questions about
HPMC viscoelastics.

What is HPMC ophthalmic viscoelastic used for?
HPMC viscoelastic is used during cataract surgery to maintain anterior chamber depth, protect corneal endothelium, facilitate IOL implantation, and create working space. HPMC OVDs are generally described in the literature as having dispersive-leaning coating behaviour, though the precise classification depends on each product’s own rheological testing.
Should I use OP‑VISC or PURE‑VISC?
It depends on what you need the OVD to do at that step of surgery. If you need it to coat, spread or flow, OP‑VISC’s lower viscosity is the more logical choice. If you need it to create or hold space, PURE‑VISC’s higher viscosity fits better. See the full step-by-step comparison for guidance through each stage of surgery.
Is OP‑VISC available in a prefilled syringe?
Yes. OP‑VISC is supplied in 2 ml and 3 ml prefilled syringes, ready for immediate use in theatre with no decanting or loading step.
Who manufactures these viscoelastics?
OP‑VISC is manufactured by Agaaz Ophthalmics, an Indian manufacturer and global exporter of ophthalmic surgical products.
