Comparison of Perioperative Complications Between 3D Heads-up and TM Cataract Surgery Groups
| Complication | 3D Group, n (%) | TM Group, n (%) | Difference (95% CI), % | P Value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Intraoperative | ||||
| Floppy iris | 1 (0.9) | 0 (0.0) | 0.9 (–0.8 to 2.5) | 0.483a |
| Postoperative | ||||
| IOP spike at 1 day | 9 (7.7) | 7 (5.6) | 2.1 (–4.2 to 8.4) | 0.513b |
| IOP spike at 1 week | 1 (0.9) | 3 (2.7) | –1.8 (–5.3 to 1.7) | 0.622a |
| Mild corneal edema at 1 week | 1 (0.9) | 3 (2.7) | –1.8 (–5.3 to 1.7) | 0.622a |
| Corneal epithelial punctate defect at 1 week | 0 (0.0) | 1 (0.9) | –0.9 (–2.7 to 0.9) | 1.000a |
Intraoperative and 1-day postoperative group size is 117 eyes for the 3D group and 125 eyes for the TM group. One-week postoperative group size is 109 eyes for the 3D group and 111 eyes for the TM group.
