Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Age related senile cataract Axial length 22-24.5mm No ocular or systemic contraindications for surgery Patient willing to give consent
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1. Mature senile cataract or nuclear sclerosis advanced enough to obscure fundus details 2. Posterior segment pathology (glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy) 3. Complicated cataract 4. Irregular corneal astigmatism (keratoconus, scars, pellucid marginal degeneration) 5. Systemic conditions (immunosuppression, diabetes mellitus, collagen vascular disease) 6.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Clear corneal incision,width of the incision and the length of the tunnel would be measured. Morphology (biplanar/ triplanar) will be assessed using the iOCT. Changes in the wound during various stages of surgery, presence of wound site descemetâ??s membrane detachment (DMD) would be looked for and the stage at which it occurred would be noted. The surgery will be recorded and the intraoperative dimensions of the incision will be measured.Timepoint: Patients will be followed up on day 1, 1 month and 3 months post operatively. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Post-operative anatomical outcomes, astigmatism, post-operative higher order aberrations, ease of IOL insertion and complications associated with IOL injection.Timepoint: Patients will be followed up on day 1, 1 month and 3 months post operatively. | — |
