| Outcome measure | Preoperative | 3 months | 6 months | 1 year |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BCVA (LogMAR) | 0.78 (0.35) | 0.28 (0.15)** | 0.20 (0.11)** | 0.14 (0.9)** |
| Graft Thickness (AS-OCT) (μm) | 132.3 (32.7) | 124.8 (34.0)* | 117.8 (36.)** | 111.0 (33.8)** |
| Graft Thickness (IVCM) (μm) | NA | 130.0 (35.2) | 120.7 (36.7)* | 114.7 (37.4)* |
| Subepithelial haze (LRU) | 133.0 (34.3) | 98.1 (48.0)* | 82.8 (33.9)* | 75.6 (32.1)** |

Results are expressed as mean (SD)
AS-OCT = Anterior segment optical coherence tomography
IVCM = In vivo confocal microscopy
LRU Light reflectance units
NA Not applicable
* = P <0.05 vs preoperative or 3-month (for graft thickness by IVCM and interface haze) value
** = P < 0.001 vs preoperative value or 3-month (for graft thickness by IVCM and interface haze) value
