METHODS: The prospective nonrandomized study comprised eyes with cataract that had 2.2-mm coaxial microincision or 3.0 -mm standard incision phacoemulsification. The corneal hysteresis (CH), corneal resistance factor (CRF), corneal-compensated intraocular pressure (IOPcc) and Goldmann-correlated intraocular pressure (IOPg) were measured by ORA preoperatively and at ld, 1-, 2-, 3- and 4-week postoperatively. Results were analyzed and compared between groups. RESULTS: In both groups, CH decreased in the immediate postoperative period (P〈0.05), returned to the preoperative level at one week (P =0.249) in the 2.2-mm group, and at two weeks in the 3.0-mm group (P --0.264); there was no significant change in CRF values. In 2.2-mm group, mean IOPcc and IOPg increased at ld postoperatively (both ,P〈0.05), and returned to preoperative level at one week (,0 =0.491 and P =0.923, respectively). In 3.0-mm group, mean IOPcc and IOPg increased at ld and lwk postoperatively (P =0.005 and ,P =0.029, respectively), and returned to preoperative level at 2wk (P =0.347 and P =0.887, respectively). CONCLUSION: Significant differences between preoperative and postoperative corneal biomechanical values were found for CH, IOPcc and IOPg. But the recovery time courses were different between the two groups. The 2.2-mm coaxial microincision cataract surgery group seemed recovery faster compared to the 3.0-mm standard coaxial phacoemulsification group.展开更多
