Sph: sphere, Cyl: cylinder, SE: spherical equivalent, 𝐽0: Jackson’s cross cylinder, axes at 0 and 90 degrees, 𝐽45: Jackson’s cross cylinder, axes at 45 and 135 degrees, UDVA: uncorrected distance visual acuity, CDVA: corrected distance visual acuity, Km: mean keratometry, Kmax: maximum keratometry, D: diopter, LogMAR: logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution, SD: standard deviation,

There were no missing data. A P-value < 0.05 is statistically significant.
