A Randomized Controlled Study of Phacoemulsification by the Enlarged Internal Incision and the Regular 2.2mm Incision

Objective and Principle: To evaluate whether enlarging the incision can reduce corneal complications associated with phacoemulsification with regular 2.2 mm incision.

The aim of this study: To evaluate whether the technique of enlarging internal incision could reduce the incidence of descemet membrane detachment after 2.2 mm incision phacoemulsification.

Secondary outcome: To evaluate whether the technique of enlarged internal incision can reduce other corneal complications such as corneal edema and astigmatism after 2.2 mm incision phacoemulsification.

Study Design: A prospective randomized controlled study
