Notes: Data shown as mean (SD), mean change (SD), n (%), Δ mean (95% CI), or P-value.

a

P-values calculated using the analysis of covariance adjusted for baseline IOP.

b

P-values calculated using the Independent t-test.

c

P-values calculated using Fisher’s exact test at TP1.

**

P-value <0.001 comparing mean IOP change at each time point from baseline after multiple comparison adjustments.

Abbreviations: IOP, intraocular pressure; SD, standard deviation; TP1, 5–10 days postoperatively; TP2, 3–6 weeks postoperatively.
