Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the effects of superior (SI) and temporal (TI) clear corneal incisions on corneal higher order aberrations (HOAs) in patients undergoing cataract surgery with healthy corneas and mild astigmatism.
- 102 eyes were analyzed, with measurements taken before and 6 weeks after surgery, revealing significant changes in HOAs only in the SI group, particularly vertical and horizontal coma.
- The findings suggest that while SI can alter corneal HOAs and potentially impact vision quality post-surgery, TI may offer advantages by not producing significant changes.
