During phacoemulsification cataract surgery, corneal thickness gradually increases in real time with the increase of perfusion pressure and intraocular manipulation time. The real-time magnitude of intraoperative corneal thickness change is closely related to lens nucleus hardness, corneal endothelial cell density, ultrasound energy, and time for emulsification.
