Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
It is expected that the polyethylene chamber will reduce the incidence of corneal injury in the intervention group, which will be measured through the incidence rate between the control and intervention groups. To compare groups with and without corneal injury, Pearson's Chi-square test or Fisher's exact test will be used.—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
No secondary outcomes are expected—
