Effect of phacoemulsification on facility of outflow.

CONCLUSION: This is the first study using electronic Schiotz tonography with documented anterior chamber depth and gonioscopy after modern cataract surgery (CS) with phacoemulsification and IOL implantation. We demonstrated that phacoemulsification increases TOF and this fully accounts for the IOP reduction following CS. ISTCRN REGISTRATION NUMBER: ISRCTN04247738.
