Fig. 3From: Quantitative evaluation of corneal epithelial edema after cataract surgery using corneal densitometry: a prospective studyChanges in central corneal thickness. Total corneal thickness at the corneal apex is 549.1 ± 32.7 μm before surgery and increases to 582.7 ± 46.3 μm on day 1 after surgery (P = 0.001 vs. preoperative). Corneal thickness recovers to 566.4 ± 29.7 μm on day 3 (P = 0.097 vs. preoperative) and 559.4 ± 32.4 μm on day 7 (P = 0.400 vs. preoperative) after surgeryBack to article page
