Methods : A prospective non randomized interventional clinical trial was conducted on 40 eyes ( 20 eyes per group ) between Dec 2017 and August 2018. Heidelberg anterior segment OCT was done for the patients,The high resolution images obtained with the Heidelberg anterior segment OCT show the layers of the cornea in details and aid in the assessment of side cut angle 2 weeks postoperativly UR - http://172.23.153.220/th.pdf ER -
