An Evaluation of Intraocular Pressure Reduction Following Phacoemulsification and Manual Small Incision Cataract Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Prospective randomized trial in patients requiring cataract surgery in which IOP, angle anatomy and other demographic and clinical data are compared. Subjects randomized to both MSICS and phakoemulsification

Detailed Description

Prospective, randomized, double masked, parallel assignment clincal trial. Five hundred eyes of 500 participants between 40 - 70 years with normal IOP, gonioscopically open angles and age related cataract. Eyes underwent phacoemulsification or MSICS following a 1:1 randomization and allocation code. Best corrected vision (BCVA), IOP, comprehensive slit lamp evaluation and anterior segment optical coherence tomography (ASOCT) were performed at baseline and at 1, 3 and 6 months follow up.
