Impact of incision size and architecture on wound stability and astigmatism in cataract surgery: an exploratory study

This exploratory study centres on examining wound architecture of clear corneal incisions using an intra-operative continuous OCT. One aim of this study is to quantify the influence of intra-operative wound architecture on resistance to deformation of the wound and surgically induced astigmatism in micro incision cataract surgery and small incision cataract surgery. Furthermore effect of a hinged incision with a pre-cut will be assessed in a second part.
