Highlights • Ophthalmic viscoelastic devices (OVDs) were designed composed of HPC and ɩ-carrageenan (Carr). • The rheological and compressional properties of the polymer blends were characterised. • HPC and Carr were shown to physically interact in both dilute and gel states. • Binary platforms offered a wide range of rheological and compressional properties. • Platforms containing 3% HPC and 1% or 2% Carr exhibited properties advantageous for use as OVDs Read more...
