He Q, Huang J, He X, et al. - In the present study, the researchers sought to assess the influence of 2.2 mm clear corneal incision (CCI) features in surgically induced astigmatism and higher‐order aberrations (HOAs) after cataract surgery. This investigation was carried out at the Department of Ophthalmology, First Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China. During the study period, a totally of 361 eyes (272 patients) received cataract surgery. At one month after surgery, CCI deformities may affect corneal recovery and cause more HOAs. Such effects became minor but may persist for up to 6 months. The combination of incision length and AngleEn/Ex had a significant impact on CCI integrity and corneal optical quality.
