Abstract
The present sttudy highlights the Visual acuity in patients before and after the first month phacoemulsification surgery. Phacoemulsification is the most common surgical treatment of ocular cataract. Removing the lens from a small incision, avoidance of intraoperative and postoperative complications and quick visual rehabilitation (visual acuity) are its advantages. This clinical study investigated the changes in V.A. of 80 patients 15 and 30 days after surgery. In all of the cases, postoperative astigmatism with a higher value of 1.75 D was measured, 30 days after surgery, there was a slight improvement in postoperative astigmatism. Clinical research, concluded that the restoration of vision of all patients was at high level from 0.26 to 0.89 and without any major complications within the first month after Phacoemulsification.
