Background: The aim of this study was to highlight the structural changes in patients with cataract following surgery and the repercussions on the anterior pole. Methods: A total of 83 patients diagnosed with cataract who underwent uneventful phacoemulsification was included. Every patient was examined one week prior to and two weeks after the surgery. Pre- and postoperative assessment included examination of the anterior and posterior segment, keratometry, and optical biometry. Results: The pre- vs. postoperative axial length (AL) mean difference was 0.07 ± 0.18 mm (p < 0.001).The mean difference of the postoperative anterior chamber depth (ACD) vs. preoperative ACD values (1.11 ± 0.50 mm) was also statistically significant (p < 0.001). The linear regression function postoperative central corneal thickness (CCT) = 0.9004 × (preoperative CCT) + 0.0668, where it characterized a reduced positive correlation (R2) of 68.89% between the postoperative CCT and preoperative CCT. The mean pre-/post-operative differences in the K1 values were 0.08 ± 0.38 D, with a statistically significant difference between the two datasets (p = 0.0152). The mean pre/postoperative difference in the K2 values was 0.002 ± 0.58 D (p = 0.4854). Conclusions: ACD deepened significantly postoperatively. Regarding AL, there was a decrease after surgery, and a very good positive correlation between the post and preoperative values. The CCT values decreased with age. The 2.2-mm corneal incision during cataract surgery resulted in a relatively small postoperative residual astigmatism. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
