SmartVisc, SmartVisc+

Will help you maintain the important working space!

• Ability to deepen the anterior and posterior chambers to allow for easier capsulorhexis

and lens implantation

• Excellent tissue manipulation

• Completely transparent to enhance visualisation during cataract and vitreoretinal surgery

• Asrpiration is quick and easy. Additionally, there is less chance for trapped viscoelastic

behind the optic.
