We investigated the possibility of using native cohesive viscoelastics Hiaral and Hiaral Plus in phacoemulsification. Our experience shows that these viscoelastics are effective and safe, have good viscosity, elasticity and cohesive-ness. They don't increase intraocular pressure and don't influence on the postoperative central corneal thickness.
