    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology and Surgical Materials Science

    Background:

    • Current viscous substances include methylcellulose, chondroitin sulfate, and hyaluronic acid.
    • These substances are characterized by large molecules with varying viscosity, electrical charge, and elasticity.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the physical properties of available viscous substances.
    • To establish indications for their use in surgical procedures.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of physical properties (viscosity, electrical charge, elasticity) of large-molecule viscous substances.
    • Correlation of physical properties with surgical applications.

    Main Results:

    • Viscous substances function as tools for spatial tactics in surgery.
    • Specific physical properties dictate the appropriate surgical indications for each substance.

    Conclusions:

    • Understanding the physical properties of viscous substances is essential for surgical application.
    • Specialized techniques are required for optimal utilization and to prevent adverse effects in surgery.
