In the ASPH, an anterior stromal pocket was created superficial and parallel while in the MASH; it was superficial and perpendicular to the plane of the main incision. The primary outcome measure was wound leakage assessed after applying firm downward pressure on the posterior lip of the main corneal incision, simulating eye rubbing.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      On application of pressure to the posterior lip, leakage was seen from 19 eyes (63%) in the CH group, while this was seen in only two eyes (7%) each in the ASPH and MASH groups (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P &lt;<\/jats:italic>\n                      0.001).
