    Cumulative dissipated energy (CDE) is critical in cataract surgery, influencing postoperative ocular health and corneal transparency.

  • 2

    This study examines the relationship between CDE and corneal densitometry (CD) across different corneal regions post-phacoemulsification.

  • 3

    A retrospective analysis of 99 eyes from 74 patients was conducted to assess changes in CD and corneal volume after cataract surgery.

  • 4

    Corneal densitometry measurements were taken preoperatively and at 1 and 3 months post-surgery using the Pentacam system.

  • 5

    Statistical analysis included paired samples t-tests and Spearman correlation to evaluate the significance of changes in CD.
