Impact of intraoperative ocular lubricants on corneal debridement rate during vitreoretinal surgery

Clinical Ophthalmology Feb 11, 2020

Mathison ML, et al. - In this retrospective analysis, researchers contrasted surgical parameters in individuals receiving Viscoat (sodium chondroitin sulfate 4%–sodium hyaluronate 3%) or Goniosol (hydroxypropyl methylcellulose 2.5%) as topical lubricants for retinal surgery. Using Goniosol or Viscoat as adjuvants, patients undergoing retinal surgery between March 2013 and March 2018 were included. Findings revealed that the Goniosol group (n = 210) had more frequent intraoperative corneal debridement and longer surgical times compared with Viscoat (n = 319). The Viscoat group's patients had higher rates of complex procedures but were younger and more likely to be phakic. Such findings suggest the potential benefits of using Viscoat for corneal lubrication over Goniosol to help in visualization during vitreoretinal surgery.
