Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Evidence of corneal trauma on biomicroscopic examination. 2. Evidence of acute or chronic corneal infections ,corneal ectasia. 3. Corneal dystrophies and Corneal degenerations. 4. Inflammatory conditions of the cornea or conjunctiva. 5. Patients with Pterygium. 6. Previous ocular surgeries. 7.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
1.To find out the impact of Paired Opposite Clear Corneal Incisions to correct preexisting astigmatism in cataract patients undergoing topical Phacoemulsification. 2.To find out the impact of Paired Opposite Clear Corneal Incisions combined with Limbal Relaxing Incisions to correct preexisting astigmatism in cataract patients undergoing topical Phacoemulsification. 3.To find out the stability of the correction achieved six weeks after the Phacoemulsification surgery.Timepoint: 6 weeks—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. To compare the amount of astigmatism corrected between the above two groups of patients with opposite clear corneal incisions. 2. To find out surgically induced astigmatism (SIA) in a third group with incision on the steeper axis and without opposite clear corneal incisions (Control Group). 3. To compare the astigmatism corrected by all the three groups of patients.Timepoint: 6 weeks—
