ACD, anterior chamber depth; AL-ACD, axial length minus anterior chamber depth; CH, corneal hysteresis; CRF, corneal resistance factor; GAT, Goldmann applanation tonometry; IOP, intraocular pressure; IOPcc, cornea compensated IOP; IOPg, IOP correlated with Goldmann applanation tonometry (by ORA); Max Topo K, maximum curvature by corneal topography; Pach, pachymetry; T tono, tonometry by Tono-Pen; Tmax, maximum GAT in medical record;

*For interval variable P values are from generalized estimating equations (GEE regression) for paired data using SAS PROC.GENMOC. For nominal variable P values are from conditional logistic regression for paired data using SAS PROC LOGISTIC.

Hypothesis tests are per patient.
