Summary:Comment: “The authors have included patients with cataract surgery but have not mentioned time duration. Comment: “The authors stated that 37 patients were required for the power of 80% but this number of patients should be in each group to keep this power. [...]the power of the study cannot be 80% with a subgroup analysis within 37 patients and, hence, the results should be interpreted with caution.” Reply: According to the formal sample size calculation, a total of 34 patients with 17 patients in each arm were required.
