Ophthalmic irrigating solution adapted for use in lasik surgery

   
   

Compositions and methods for facilitating the formulation and closure of a corneal flap during LASIK surgery are described. The compositions and methods are based on the use of one or more viscosity-enhancing agents (e.g., chondroitin sulfate) to provide an ophthalmic irrigating solution with improved coating properties and prolonged dwelling time on the cornea, thereby providing lubrication for the microkeratome used to form the corneal flap, reduce corneal epithelial abrasions, and help to produce smooth and consistent cuts with the microkeratome blade.

As composições e os métodos para facilitar o formulation e o fechamento de uma aleta corneal durante a cirurgia de LASIK são descritos. As composições e métodos são baseadas no uso de um ou mais querealçam agentes (por exemplo, sulfate do chondroitin) para fornecer uma solução irrigating ophthalmic com as propriedades revestindo melhoradas e o tempo de moradia prolongado no cornea, fornecendo desse modo a lubrificação para o microkeratome usaram-se dar forma à aleta corneal, reduzir abrasões epithelial corneal, e ajudá-las produzir cortes lisos e consistentes com a lâmina do microkeratome.
