[Comparative study of morphological corneal changes after cataract phacoemulsification using confocal microscopy and optical coherence tomography].
20 corneas of patients after ultrasound cataract phacoemulsification were studied using contact polarization optical coherence tomography (OCT) and confocal microscopy (CM). It was concluded that results obtained using OCT and CM fairly present morphologic corneal changes after ultrasound cataract phacoemulsification. Thermal damage as a result of ultrasound exposure demonstrated as a corneal tissue shrinkage is better revealed using polarization OCT.
