Ophthalmic sutures are specialized surgical threads used in ophthalmic surgery to close incisions, secure tissues, promote healing, and maintain anatomical integrity. These sutures are essential to preserving the delicate structure of the eye following surgery. They are widely used in various eye procedures such as cataract removal, corneal transplantation, and retinal detachment repair. Ophthalmic sutures are essential tools in hospitals, ophthalmology clinics, and professional eye care centers.

Given the unique immune environment of the eye and the sensitivity of its structure in maintaining visual function, modern ophthalmic sutures must meet high standards for antimicrobial activity, mechanical strength, and tissue compatibility.
