Abstract
A nasal-temporal difference in corneal thickness was found preoperatively in all patients. Phacoemulsification through a temporal limbal-corneal incision caused an increase in corneal thickness along the horizontal meridian 1 day after surgery. The prolonged corneal thickening at 3.0Â mm eccentricity temporally could be a result of the proximity to the incision site.
