Objective To compare the architecture and wound edema degree changes of clear-corneal 3.0 mm incisions and 2.2 mm incisions after cataract removal. Methods It was a prospective randomized controlled study. Fifty-eight eyes of 35 age related cataract patients were included and the density of all the cataracts varied from grade Ⅱ to Ⅲ (Emery-Little′s classification). Patients were randomized to have phacoemulsification through a small-incision (3.0 mm, n=30) or clear corneal microincision (2.2 mm, n=28) by random digital table. Anterior segment optical coherence tomography evaluation was performed at 2 hours, 1 week, 1 month and 3 months after surgery. Incisional corneal thickness and wound architecture, including epithelial gaping, endothelial gaping, local detachment of Descemet′s membrane and loss of coaptation, were assessed. Independent sample t test, nonparametric Wilcoxon rank-sum test and Chi-square test were used for data analysis. Results There was no statistically significant difference in incisional corneal edema degree between 2 groups at all time points. At 2 hours after the surgery, the difference between 2 groups in the occurrence of epithelial gaping, endothelial gaping, local detachment of Descemet′s membrane and loss of coaptation was not statistically significant. At 1 week postoperatively, the incidence of epithelial gaping was higher in the 3.0 mm group than 2.2 mm group and the statistical difference was significant (23% vs 4%, χ²=5.192, P<0.05). All different morphological incisions in both group recovered at 3 months postoperatively. Conclusion Compared to the traditional small-incisions, the wound morphological characteristics of microincisions might recover faster in the cataracts varying from grade Ⅱ to Ⅲ.
