Main outcome parameters were various corneal parameters obtained by Scheimpflug imaging, refractive outcome, corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), and endothelial cell density (ECD).<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Anterior and posterior corneal astigmatism, corneal densitometry, central corneal thickness, and anterior chamber depth and volume showed no significant differences. Preoperative distribution of astigmatism axis orientations showed a high proportion of anterior corneal with-the-rule astigmatism (71%) in eyes requiring rebubbling. Mean postoperative cylinder in the rebubbling group (1.21 \u00b1 0.85 D) was significantly higher compared to the controls (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.04), while differences in spherical equivalent (SE) were insignificant (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.24). Postoperative CDVA was 0.11 \u00b1 0.11 in the control group compared to 0.21 \u00b1 0.17 in the rebubbling group (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.03).
