Refractive Change Induced by 2.8-mm Corneal Incision (CINPHA)
This study is currently recruiting participants.
Verified by Hospital Universitario Ramon y Cajal, August 2008
Sponsored by: Hospital Universitario Ramon y Cajal
Information provided by: Hospital Universitario Ramon y Cajal
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00742950
  Purpose

The investigators' purpose is to study the induced refractive change caused by different 2.8-mm corneal incision locations in phacoemulsification, because the investigators hypothesize that the effect may be different for nasal, temporal, and superior location, although they are considered astigmatism neutral.

Patients will be randomized to nasal or temporal incision, or assigned to superior incision, depending on preexisting astigmatism. Visual acuity, refraction, keratometry, Pentacam analysis, intraocular pressure, biomicroscopy, and funduscopy, will be carried out before and after phacoemulsification.

Outcome measures will be induced corneal refractive change (Fourier power vector analysis), ISV change, and visual acuity, at 6 months.
