[Initial experiences with Healon]

M Zirm

    Klinische Monatsblatter Fur Augenheilkunde
    |November 1, 1982
    PubMed
    Summary

    Healon (hyaluronic acid) demonstrated effectiveness in ophthalmic surgery, protecting corneal cells and proving advantageous, though its gel structure is not destroyed by ultrasound. Further research confirmed its intraocular visibility and safety regarding intraocular pressure.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Biomaterials Science

    Context:

    • Healon, a hyaluronic acid derivative, is increasingly utilized in anterior segment surgeries.
    • Previous studies reported positive outcomes, necessitating further investigation.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Healon in ophthalmic surgery through animal and clinical studies.
    • To address specific questions regarding Healon's physical properties, intraocular behavior, and physiological effects.

    Summary:

    • Healon's gel structure is resistant to ultrasonic disruption.
    • Intraocular visibility can be achieved using staining techniques.
    • Healon effectively protects corneal endothelial cells.
    • Its use does not lead to increased intraocular pressure post-surgery.
    • Healon offers significant advantages in ophthalmic procedures.

    Impact:

    • Provides evidence supporting the clinical utility of Healon in anterior segment surgery.
    • Highlights Healon's role in preserving corneal health during surgical interventions.
    • Contributes to understanding the safety profile and application of hyaluronic acid-based viscoelastic agents.
