Dispersive OVDs from this study showed greater adherence to the endothelial surface than the cohesive ones. Furthermore, postoperative endothelial cell counts of corneas treated with dispersive OVDs were higher than of corneas treated with cohesive OVDs. Our in vitro results suggest that dispersive OVDs protect the corneal endothelium better during phacoemulsification than cohesive OVDs.
