Protocol summary

Study aim
Comparison of Central Thickness Changes of Cornea in Linear Phacoemulsification with Torsional Phacoemulsification Surgery 1 day and 1 week after the surgery
Design
Two intervention groups, Parallel Groups, Single Blind, Simply Randomized,30 patients
Settings and conduct
The patients with cataracts in both eyes who present to the Imamkhomeini hospital of Urmia, will undergo phacoemulsification in both eyes.Based on the statistical estimation, 30 patients will be chosen and the selection of each eye for eather linear or torsional surgery is simply randomized and the interval of the two surgeries will be two weeks.The aim to choose both eyes of each patient is to evoid the effects of variables such as age, gender, genetics and systemic diseases affecting the corneal thickness such as diabetes or any other undiagnosed disease,between the two groups.The patients are blind to the method of surgery on each eye.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria : Patients over 40 years old, Cataracts in both eyes Exclusion criteria : Patients under 40 years old, corneal pathologies, poorly dilating pupil or posterior synechiae, pseudoexfoliation, subluxated lens, retinal pathology, glaucoma, diabetes mellitus, collagen vascular diseases, post refractive surgeries
Intervention groups
1)Linear Phacoemulsification Surgery, 2)Torsional Phacoemulsification Surgery
Main outcome variables
Central Corneal Thickness

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
From the patients with cataracts in both eyes who present to Imamkhomeini hospital of Urmia, 30 cases will be chosen based on inclusion or exclusion criteriae. The method used for randomizing the left or the right eye for torsional or linear surgery, is the black box. The box will contain 60 cards and each eye of each patient (left or right) with the name and family name, will be written on one card. Each time, one card will be taken out of the box and each eye of each patient coming out in the first sequence,will undergo surgery with one of the methods; and the eye coming out of the box in second sequence, will undergo surgery with the other type. Determining the method used for the first sequence is by flapping a coin.If the first sequence is torsional, the second sequence will actually be linear or vice versa.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Single blinded
Blinding description
The patients who present to the hospital to undergo surgery in both eyes, are blind to the method of surgery on each eye.
