| Normal | POAG | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| T0 | T1 | T2 | T0 | T1 | T2 | ||
| ECCE | –0.75, +0.67 | –0.54, +0.71 | –0.50, +0.92 | –1.44, +1.79 | –0.64, +1.44 | –0.48, +0.98 | |

The differences were not statistically different.
-
ECCE = extracapsular cataract extraction; phaco = phacoemulsification; NC = nucleus capture; T0 = before surgery; T1 = 1 month after surgery; T2 = 6 months after surgery.
