Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: This study was an exploratory study to compare the IOP and wound architectures between eyes with long CCI and eyes with short CCI, conducted between January and December, 2017 at the Hayashi Eye Hospital. A clinical research coordinator screened all consecutive patients scheduled for admitting the Hayashi Eye Hospital to undergo bilateral phacoemulsification and implantation of a single-piece acrylic intraocular lens (IOL).
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: eyes with any pathology of the cornea, macula, and optic nerve; eyes with lens nucleus harder than grade 4 according to the Lens Opacities Classification System III;14 eyes with a possible zonular dehiscence, a history of ocular inflammation or surgery; eyes with poor mydriasis smaller than 4.5 mm; patient refusal; and any anticipated difficulties with examination
