Abstract
Abstract Purpose To evaluate effectiveness of soft shell cataract surgery technique on the corneal structure in group of Fuchs’ dystrophy patients. Methods 24 patients (mean age 52,7±13,8), 31 eyes after phacoemulsification were examined before and 10 months after surgery. BCVA, mean central corneal thickness (CCT) and corneal endothelial cell density (CD) were evaluated. Corneal aberrations root‐mean‐square (RMS) was calculated 1 and 10 months after surgery for 4.0mm pupil. Results Corneal higher‐order aberrations (RMS) 1 month after surgery was 0,372±0,058 and 10 months after surgery was 0,345±0,076, BCVA 10 months after surgery was 0,75±0,27 (before surgery 0,32±0,28), the mean CCT was 563,37±21,42µm (before surgery 559,62±45,29µm), CD 1786,341±493,127 (before surgery 1912,783±381,963). Conclusion All patients revealed good stability and protection of the cornea confirming safety of the soft shell technique.
