Endothelial Cell Loss, Cumulative Dissipated Energy, and Surgically Induced Astigmatism in Sutureless Scleral Tunnel Phaco-Assisted Cataract Extraction in Advanced Cataracts

Table 3

The correlation between different cataract grades, mean CDE, and mean ECL.

	Mean CDE (US)	Mean ECL (%)
Grade NO4, NC4	0.174 ± 0.46	52.83 ± 24.1 (2.07%)
Grade NO5, NC5	0.859 ± 0.42	120.47 ± 21.5 (5.01%)
Grade NO6, NC6	2.306 ± 0.89	204.12 ± 17.2 (8.01%)
value	0.0001	0.01

CDE = cumulative dissipated energy; ECL = endothelial cell loss; NO = nuclear opalescence; NC = nuclear color.
