Clinical Trial: Posterior Flap Hydration of Clear Corneal Incisions in Cataract Surgery: Influence on Corneal Wound Tightness and Architecture

U.S., May 13 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07581366) titled 'Posterior Flap Hydration of Clear Corneal Incisions in Cataract Surgery: Influence on Corneal Wound Tightness and Architecture' on April 23.

Brief Summary: Sutureless clear corneal incision (CCI) is the most commonly used technique for creating an entrance wound in cataract surgery. Corneal incision hydration enhances wound tightness and reduces postoperative fluid suction from the ocular surface into the anterior chamber; thereby, loweres the risk of postoperative endophthalmitis. Various hydration methods have been employed to close corneal incisions. Standard CCI hydration may be ineffective in sutureless incisions with central wo...
