Ophthalmic OVDs (ophthalmic viscosurgical devices) are specialized tools used during eye surgeries to help maintain a clear field of vision and protect delicate eye tissues. They are essentially gel-like substances injected into the eye, providing a cushioning effect and helping create space between various eye structures. During surgeries, the OVDs help protect the cornea, iris, and other delicate tissues from damage and help control the pressure inside the eye.
