No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if there is any difference in astigmatism (eye surface curvature) or corneal endothelial cell density (the inner cell lining of the eye surface) after two different methods for inserting a lens during cataract surgery.

Conditions

  • Cataracts
  • Cataract Surgery

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Lens insertion during cataract surgery

After cataract removal during cataract surgery, a lens needs to be injected into the eye. Both arms are routinely used but different methods for injecting the lens.
