Abstract
The use of a hydrogel bandage to close sutureless sclerotomies is a practical alternative to sutures. Closure of sutureless sclerotomies may reduce the entry of ocular surface fluid into these incisions as well as prevent leakage of intraocular fluid in the immediate postoperative period. Incision closure may reduce the incidence of postoperative endophthalmitis and hypotony in sutureless vitreous surgery.
