a
Proportions reported for eye-level outcomes are adjusted for correlation induced by enrolling both eyes of some individuals. For the bilateral surgery group, the proportions may differ from the number of cases divided by the total sample size.
b
New diagnosis of glaucoma or suspected glaucoma after lens surgery. Results for glaucoma and suspected glaucoma reported for the 1064 eyes for which glaucoma was not present at enrollment.
