aThe mixed effect linear model was applied to compare the difference among the three groups: emmetropia (+0.50≥SE≥-0.25 D), mild myopia (-0.25>SE≥-3.00 D), and moderate myopia (-3.00>SE≥-6.00 D). BUT: Break-up time; OSI: Scattering index; MTFcut-off: Modulation transfer function cut-off; SR: Strehl ratio; OV100%: The predictive visual acuity at contrasts of 100%; OV20%: The predictive visual acuity at contrasts of 20%; OV9%: The predictive visual acuity at contrasts of 9%; SE: Spherical equivalent refraction. Normally distributed variables were described as mean±standard deviation (range), while skewed data was expressed as median (1st quartile, 3rd quartile).
