CONCLUSION: Corneal surface and astigmatic changes
are insignificant in either early or late postoperative periods
following combined phacoemulsification and 25-G
TSV. The SIA was the minimum among previous reports
on sutureless vitrectomy alone or combined with phacoemulsification.
Improvement of SIA did not stop at the 3rd
postoperative month but it continued till the 6th month postoperatively.
