ABSTRACT:
Disclosed are surface modified viscoelastics and methods of performing viscosurgery using polymer-containing irrigating solution to reduce cohesiveness of the viscoelastic agent at the interface, thereby improving its performance by reducing the occurrence of unintentional aspiration, especially in ocular surgery.
