| | Chemical names (brand names) | Viscosity | Composition |
| | Cohesive (Opegan Hi®) | Intrinsic viscosity 25∼45 (dL/g) | 1% sodium hyaluronate | | Dispersive (Shellgan®) | 35000∼60000 mPa s (25°C, shear rate 2/s) | 3% sodium hyaluronate | | 4% chondroitin sulfate sodium | | Viscoadaptive (Healon5®) | Zero shear viscosity: about 7 million (mPa s) | 23% sodium hyaluronate | | Viscous dispersive (DisCoVisc®) | Viscosity (shear rate 1/s, 25°C): 75000 ± 35000 (mPa s) | 1.65% sodium hyaluronate | | 4% chondriotin sulfate sodium |
