This is the corneal topography of a patient awaiting cataract
surgery.
a. What does the corneal topography show?
b. What is the effect on the corneal topography if the patient had
an extracapsular
cataract extraction through the superior corneal
approach and all the tension of
the sutures are evenly distributed and not tightened?
c. What is the effect on the corneal topography if the patient had
phacoemulsification
through a temporal corneal approach using
a foldable lens?
