Area of Science:

  • Biomaterials Science
  • Polymer Chemistry
  • Ophthalmology

Background:

  • Injectable biomaterials are essential in medicine, but current ophthalmic viscoelastic materials can leave residues, posing postoperative risks.
  • Ophthalmology relies on viscoelastic agents for procedures like cataract surgery, necessitating improved materials for safety and efficacy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop novel injectable fluorescent viscoelastics (FluoVs) for enhanced intraoperative traceability and facile removal in ophthalmic applications.
  • To synthesize and characterize bottlebrush-shaped fluorescent copolymers with tunable fluorescence and controlled rheological properties.

Main Methods:

  • One-step controlled radical copolymerization of oligo(ethylene glycol) acrylate and fluorescein acrylate to synthesize bottlebrush polymers.
  • Synthesis of charged terpolymers to prevent aggregation via electrostatic repulsion.
  • Characterization using dynamic light scattering and dissipative particle dynamics simulations to analyze polymer behavior.
  • Biocompatibility testing comparing FluoVs to commercial standards.

Main Results:

  • FluoVs exhibit high fluorescence intensity for superior intraoperative visualization and traceability.
  • Synthesized polymers demonstrate tunable hydrodynamic size influenced by fluorescein content and monomer sequence.
  • FluoVs show excellent biocompatibility, with cell viability comparable to commercial controls.
  • The materials possess low viscosity and are easily removable post-surgery.

Conclusions:

  • Injectable fluorescent viscoelastics (FluoVs) provide enhanced intraoperative traceability and facile removal, addressing limitations of current ophthalmic materials.
  • These novel polymers represent a significant advancement for ocular surgery and bioimaging applications.
  • The developed FluoVs offer a promising combination of fluorescence, low viscosity, and biocompatibility.
