Abstract
Viscoat® is a new viscoelastic solution of chondroitin sulfate and sodium hyaluronate dissolved in a phosphate buffer. Recent findings of postoperative corneal deposits in association with its use have been reported to Cilco. The corneal deposits are noted 18 to 48 hours postoperatively and are similar in appearance to calcific band keratopathy. The clinical characteristics and prognosis of this entity are reviewed. Possible methods of treatment and recommendations for prevention are discussed.Keywords
