Clinical outcome measures during follow-up visits compared with pre-operative values.
| Clinical Outcome Measures | Postoperative Follow-Up | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Month * | 6 Months * | 1 Year * | |
| Best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (logMAR) | −0.08 [−0.23 to 0.06] | −0.21 [−0.46 to 0.05] | −0.37 [−0.62 to −0.12] ** |
| Best contact lens-corrected visual acuity (logMAR) | 0.16 [0.00 to 0.32] ** | 0.04 [−0.06 to 0.14] | 0.07 [−0.01 to 0.15] |
| Pachymetry thinnest point (μm) | 35.36 [8.40 to 62.32] ** | 17.00 [−13.51 to 47.51] | 21.09 [−2.04 to 44.22] |
| Pachymetry central point (μm) | 27.28 [−2.72 to 57.28] | 15.45 [−19.23 to 50.13] | 24.39 [0.28 to 48.49] ** |
| Maximum keratometry (D) | −7.41 [−9.64 to −5.19] ** | −6.90 [−9.27 to −4.52] ** | −5.80 [−8.49 to −3.12] ** |
| Mean simulated keratometry (D) | −4.74 [−6.79 to −2.69] ** | −4.79 [−7.11 to −2.48] ** | −2.91 [−5.29 to −0.53] ** |
* Data are mean effect size (95% CI). ** Significant decrease or increase in postoperative outcome measures.
