Summary
Brief summary
The primary purpose of the study is comparision of surgically induced astigmatism of conventional coaxial phacoemulsification and microincision coaxial phacoemulsification. Hypothesis of study is that surgically induced astigmatism is less using microincision cataract surgery in comparision with conventional coaxial phacoemulsification
