ABSTRACT Background: There is a debate regarding the differences in intraocular pressure values between different types of dispersive ophthalmic viscosurgical devices in patients after phacoemulsification for cataracts. Objectives: We aim to evaluate the differences between hydroxypropyl methylcellulose and sodium hyaluronate alone or combined with chondroitin sulfate as ophthalmic viscosurgical devices after phacoemulsification in selected patients related to intraocular pressure. Methods: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized clinical trial data comparing only dispersive hydroxypropyl methylcellulose with sodium hyaluronate […]
