Anterior segment optical coherence tomography angiography assessment of limbal vasculature changes after sclerocorneal vs. corneal cataract incisions.

ABSTRACT: This prospective cohort study aimed to compare changes in vascular density around sclerocorneal and corneal incisions after cataract surgery using anterior segment optical coherence tomography angiography (AS-OCTA). To this end, 20 patients undergoing cataract surgery were divided into sclerocorneal and corneal (n = 10 each) incision groups. AS-OCTA imaging was performed preoperatively and at multiple intervals postoperatively. Vascular densities in the conjunctival and intrascleral layers were analyzed; postoperative changes were quantified using AS-OCTA. In the sclerocorneal incision group, the conjunctival vascular density was significantly reduced on days 1, 7, and 21, while intrascleral vascular density significantly increased on days 1, 3, 5, and 21. The corneal incision group showed
