Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
To compare surgically induced astigmatism after 2.2mm and 2.8mm clear corneal incision in phacoemulsification. To compare elapsed phaco time (EPT) and absolute phaco time (APT) during phacoemulsification in both the groups and the changes in anterior and posterior corneal curvature and corneal thickness after phacoemulsification with 2.2mm and 2.8mm incision. To assess the duration of stabilization of above parameters using anterior segment analyzerTimepoint: 1 week 3 weeks 6 weeks	—
