†New Classification of OVDs, 2005, modified and updated to 2015

STEVE ARSHINOFF, MD. FRCSC
ASCRS 2015 Understanding OVDs Course 2467 Handout
1. Theme & goals of Course:
The course is designed to assist attendees in understanding:
1.1. How far we have come in learning how to characterize ophthalmic viscosurgical devices, in a manner that relates
directly to our uses of them in surgery.
1.2. How the rheological characterization of OVDs leads directly to classification, which permits us to study the
similarities and differences among available OVDs.
1.3. How the classification of a given OVD can help us understand how to use it best in different situations.
1.4. How phaco is rheology, and how understanding OVD rheology helps us perform better phaco surgery.
1.5. How rheologic information helps us design newer better OVDs.
2. The roles of OVDs in surgery
2.1. To create and preserve surgical spaces – viscosity / elasticity.
- best achieved with most viscous-cohesive OVD
2.2. To partition spaces – including endothelial protection
- best achieved with lower viscosity dispersives.
2.3. To provide a low viscosity space to perform surgery.
- best achieved in a BSS space.
3. Historic and Current Classification of OVDs.
3.1. Differences between dispersion and pseudo-dispersion .
- viscoadaptives, at high shear are pseudispersive.
4. Zero-shear Viscosity and Cohesion, & how to measure them.

5. Surgical OVD Techniques leading to Tri-Soft Shell Technique
5.1. Soft Shell Technique (SST).
Viscoat (low viscosity dispersive) injected first onto the
surface of the lens, followed by a viscous cohesive, which
pushes the dispersive up into a smooth layer against the
endothelium, providing a protective layer, with a smooth
fracture boundary separating the two OVDs.
5.1.1. Routine Cases
5.1.2. Fuchs’ Dystrophy
5.1.3. Broken Zonule cases (with CTR)
5.1.4. Small holes in posterior capsule
5.1.5. Isolating Frayed Iris
5.2. Achieve clean posterior capsules with BSS irrigating jet.

5.3. Healon5 & Ultimate Soft Shell Technique (USST)
- uses viscoadaptive and BSS (instead of dispersive).
- makes all cases much easier, and more stable.
Pre Capsulorhexis Step
5.3.1. Viscoadaptive rheology – how its different
5.3.2. Routine cases
5.3.3. Capsular Dye cases
5.3.4. USST for IOL injector cartridges
5.3.5. Adding BSS under all OVDs in all cases
5.4. SST-USST combinations ! Tri-Soft Shell Techniques.
- use layers of dispersive against the cornea, viscous
cohesive centrally to establish stability, and BSS
(or XYLO-PHE) on the lenticular surface (for a
low-viscosity surgical space). Optimizes pupil dilation
and makes cases easier.
5.4.1. General use
5.4.2. Fuchs Dystrophy – low endothelial cell counts
5.4.3. Flomax IFIS Soft Shell Bridge (SSB) technique
