  Aim: To evaluate clear corneal incision in manual extracapsular cataract extraction (ECCE) versus phacoemulsification using anterior segment spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). Setting: Ophthalmology department, Assiut University Hospitals, Assiut, Egypt. Methods: This prospective study included 40 eyes of 40 subjects who had cataract surgery through a superior clear corneal incision (20 eyes underwent manual ECCE and 20 eyes underwent phacoemulsification). Three months postoperatively each eye was scanned at the corneal incision site using anterior segment SD-OCT. (RTVue-100; Optovue). We compared the corneal incision in both groups considering any changes in the epithelial side; endothelial side, and stromal healing. Results: Perfect apposition along the epithelial side was ac..
