No changes seen in surgical time, corneal edema with hydrogel sealant

Eyes with hydrogel ocular sealant used to secure clear corneal incisions during cataract surgery experienced no statistical differences in wound leaks, total surgical time or corneal edema compared with non-sealant eyes.
Researchers retrospectively reviewed 90 eyes of 45 cataract surgery patients in a 1:1 matched cohort of ReSure hydrogel ocular sealant (Ocular Therapeutix) and non-sealant.
The difference in surgical time for sealant eyes and non-sealant eyes was not statistically significant. Additionally, there were no statistically significant differences between non-sealant eyes and sealant
