Corneal aberrations before and after small-incision cataract surgery.

PURPOSE To study the effect of small-incision cataract surgery on the optical aberrations of the cornea. METHODS Corneal topography was measured before and after cataract surgery on 70 eyes of 70 patients. Monofocal foldable IOLs were implanted after phacoemulsification through a clear-cornea, 3.5-mm incision without suture. Corneal aberrations, up to the fifth order and 6-mm pupil, were calc...
