Outcome measures assessed included vertical and horizontal keratometry reading. The mean corneal astigmatism tear function measured using Schirmer 1 test results were recorded preoperatively, and on postoperative day 1, day 7, and day 30. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) was done to record the average central macular thickness (\u03bcm) on day 7 and day 30.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The mean corneal astigmatism and anterior chamber inflammation were more in the MSICS group than in the phaco group immediately postoperatively. However, no statistically significant difference was found between the groups with respect to corneal sensation, mean corneal astigmatism, tear film function, and visual outcomes on postoperative day 30. Uncorrected visual acuity was better in the phacoemulsification group than in the manual SICS group on postoperative day 1, day 7, and day 30 (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; 0.001).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Both phacoemulsification cataract surgery and manual small-incision sutureless cataract surgery (MSICS) are safe and effective for visual rehabilitation.
