Overview

Prospective case series found 98.8% of eyes stabilized refractive error by 28 days post-surgery, highlighting age and astigmatism's minimal impact.

Key Points

  • Refractive error stabilization typically occurs by day 28 after phacoemulsification cataract surgery.
  • Almost 100% of the eyes reached stabilization by day 60, with significant factors including axial length and corneal astigmatism.
  • Participants were assessed at multiple time points following surgery to track changes in refractive error.
  • The study highlights the influence of anatomical factors while age and visual acuity showed no significant effects.
