What is it about?
This is a study comparing visual outcomes in 2.2 mm versus 2.75 mm clear corneal incision in phacoemulsification. Head to head comparison of visual acuity, keratometry, surgical induced astigmatism and contrast sensitivity (FACT) has been performed.

Why is it important?
Author found no significant difference between two incisions (2.2 mm versus 2.75 mm) in phacoemulsification.
Perspectives
In the field of cataract surgery, the ongoing research is focussed on minimizing size of incision and lesser resultant post-operative astigmatism. A very important study which compared the two incisions (2.2 mm and 2.75 mm) and found comparable visual outcomes.
