Abstract
Background:
The most popular cataract surgery method in the world is phacoemulsification surgery. There are two kinds of phacoemulsification: longitudinal and torsional. Our research compares the changes in central corneal thickness (pachymetry) after longitudinal and torsional phacoemulsification.
Patients and Methods:
In this prospective randomized trial, we will assess the changes in pachymetry following torsional versus longitudinal phacoemulsification. Our study will comprise fifty eyes with nuclear cataracts ranging in severity from grade 1 to grade 3.
Results :
Comparing postoperative pachymetry modifications between torsional phaco and longitudinal phaco revealed no statistically significant difference between the two groups.
Conclusion:
We came to the conclusion that both phacoemulsification techniques are safe procedures after comparing the two types and finding no statistically significant difference in postoperative Pachymetry alterations.
