Methods: This retrospective case\u2013control study included 37 eyes belonging to 26 patients who underwent solo cataract surgery and 37 eyes belonging to 31 patients who underwent solo \u00b5LOT. These two groups were matched according to their preoperative intraocular pressure (IOP), axial length (AL), and age. Corneal Visualization Scheimpflug Technology (Corvis ST) was used to obtain four biomechanical parameters representing the corneal stiffness or corneal deformation at the highest concavity, including stiffness parameter A1 (SP-A1), stress\u2013strain index (SSI), peak distance (PD), and deflection amplitude max (DefAmpMax). These parameters were compared preoperatively and 6 months postoperatively, and between the two surgical groups. Results: Preoperatively, the patients\u2019 IOP, age, and AL, as well as their results in four Corvis ST parameters, were similar between the two groups (p &gt; 0.05). No significant difference was observed in SP-A1; however, PD and DefAmpMax were significantly larger, and SSI was significantly smaller postoperatively in the LOT group than in the cataract group. Conclusions: Corneal stiffness was reduced, and the cornea was more deformed with LOT than cataract surgery.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm13154564","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,5]],"date-time":"2024-08-05T13:57:28Z","timestamp":1722866248000},"page":"4564","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Comparing Corneal Biomechanic Changes between Solo Cataract Surgery and Microhook Ab Interno Trabeculotomy"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Ryo","family":"Asaoka","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Seirei Hamamatsu General Hospital, Hamamatsu 430-0906, Shizuoka, Japan"},{"name":"Seirei Christopher University, Hamamatsu 433-8558, Shizuoka, Japan"},{"name":"The Graduate School for the Creation of New Photonics Industries, Hamamatsu 431-1202, Shizuoka, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shuichiro","family":"Aoki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, The University of Tokyo Graduate School of Medicine, Tokyo 113-0033, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yuri","family":"Fujino","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Seirei Christopher University, Hamamatsu 433-8558, Shizuoka, Japan"},{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Shimane University Faculty of Medicine, Izumo 693-0021, Shimane, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1094-1862","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shunsuke","family":"Nakakura","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Tsukazaki Memorial Hospital, Himeji 671-1227, Hyogo, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hiroshi","family":"Murata","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, National Center for Global Health and Medicine, Shinjuku 162-8655, Tokyo, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1915-1864","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yoshiaki","family":"Kiuchi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Science, Hiroshima University, Hiroshima 739-0046, Hiroshima, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"19","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajo.2019.01.019","article-title":"Cataract Surgery and Rate of Visual Field Progression in Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma","volume":"201","author":"Kim","year":"2019","journal-title":"Am.
