ABSTRACT:
The bandage for maintaining the anterior chamber of an eye according to the present invention is formed so as to cover an incision during operation and to tightly contact with the incision and its circumference, has a small hole for insertion of instruments for operation and is transparent. This bandage can prevent the outflow of aqueous humor through an incision during ocular operation without conducting the temporary suture of incision and thereby enables ocular operation in a state where the anterior chamber is maintained. Therefore, the bandage has solved various problems (e.g. complicated operation procedure, long operation time, high invasion associated with operation) encountered in the conventional ocular operation wherein the incision is temporarily sutured to prevent the outflow of aqueous humor therethrough and thereby to maintain the anterior chamber.
