Preoperative examinations included best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), IOL-master, and Pentacam, with IOL power calculated using the Barrett formula. Postoperative follow-up was conducted at 3 months, including BCVA and refraction assessment. Besides, compared and analyzed the refractive status of eyeballs with and without posterior capsule incision during surgery(60 eyes with posterior capsulotomy and 21 eyes with posterior capsule preservation).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec003\">\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The mean axial length (AL) of patients\u2019 eyes was 29.77\u2009\u00b1\u20092.55 mm, and the mean preoperative BCVA was 0.64\u2009\u00b1\u20090.60 (LogMAR). Three months postoperatively, the mean BCVA improved to 0.40\u2009\u00b1\u20090.43 (LogMAR), showing a statistically significant improvement (P\u2009&lt;\u20090.05). The mean postoperative spherical equivalent (SE) was \u22122.83\u2009\u00b1\u20091.57 degree (D), with an average deviation of \u22120.23\u2009\u00b1\u20090.55 (D) from the target refraction. The refractive deviation of all eyes was \u22120.23\u2009\u00b1\u20090.55D, and \u22120.20\u2009\u00b1\u20090.56D in the posterior capsulotomy group, which was less than \u22120.30\u2009\u00b1\u20090.53D in the posterior capsule preservation group compared with the target refractive deviation(p\u2009=\u20090.49).
