Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The study will help us to understand the endothelial changes after phacoemulsification in accordance with the different anterior chamber depths.We are expecting that there will be more endothelial loss in shallow anterior chamber Depth and there will be more loss of endothelial cells in harder cataracts.This will help us to open doors for research on better and safer techniques in shallow anterior chambersTimepoint: At 3 months

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
NILTimepoint: Not Applicable
