Human vitreous is a gelatinous substance that is predominantly composed of collagen fibril, hyaluronic acid (HA) and water. Vitreous substitutes are needed to tamponade the detached retina after vitrectomy when treating retinal detachments. However, several drawbacks associated with current vitreous substitutes have been reported In the present study, we developed a colorless, transparent and injectable hydrogel as a vitreous substitute that was formed by oxidated HA (oxi-HA) and adipic acid dihydrazide (ADH). The biocompatibility was evaluated on a retina pigmented epithelium cell culture by ISO 10993-5, and the hydrogel was found to be nontoxic. This study suggested that the injectable oxi-HA/ADH hydrogel could fulfill many critical elements that are desirable in vitreous substitutes.
