- Abstract
The article explores the use of viscoelastic materials in ophthalmic surgery, specifically in cataract surgery. These materials possess both viscosity and elasticity, making them valuable tools in protecting ocular structures and reducing complications during surgery. Different types of viscoelastic materials are used depending on the specific needs of each stage of the surgery. The article also highlights the importance of patient education, preoperative ophthalmological control, and postoperative visual acuity in ensuring patient satisfaction. Additionally, the article briefly touches on the history of intraocular lens implants and advancements in implant materials. Overall, viscoelastic materials play a crucial role in improving the outcomes of cataract surgery.
