Quality of vision total score for each visual disturbance was calculated as the sum of frequency, severity and bothersome score.
Normal was defined as “never” in the assessment of the frequency, and “not at all” in severity and bothersome evaluation for a certain visual disturbance. Otherwise, it would be defined as abnormal.
Calculated with single factor linear model.
Only one patient reported double vision in SMILE subgroup.
Boldface values indicated statistical significance at p < 0.05 level.
dps, degree per second; DVA, dynamic vision acuity; SD, standard deviation.
