Abstract
Astigmatism was slightly affected by the use of laser welding for corneal wound closure after phacoemulsification and ECCE. The laser-assisted corneal sealing procedure was rapid and safe and could serve as an alternative to corneal suturing, with significant potential applications for the closure of longer incisions, such as those used in penetrating keratoplasty.
