The primary purpose of an intraocular irrigating solution is to maintain both the anatomic and physiologic integrity of intraocular tissues. Many physiologic studies performed on the corneal endothelium have confirmed that a solution with a chemical composition similar to aqueous and vitreous humor provides the best protection for intraocular tissues. Certain clinical situations place undue stress on the corneal endothelium, retina and other ocular structures. BSS PLUS® Sterile Intraocular Irrigating Solution combines an energy source, a buffer and an antioxidant to maximally protect and nourish the health of intraocular tissues.
