E = emmetropia; M = mild/moderate myopia; H = high myopia; H1 = high myopia with axial length (AL) of 26–28 mm; H2 = high myopia with AL of 28–30 mm; H3 = high myopia with AL > 30 mm; SD = standard deviation

^a Differences among the three / five groups were analyzed with one-way ANOVA and Tukey’s post hoc test for multiple comparisons; the P-value here relates to the difference between the selected group and group E

^b Differences among the three / five groups were analyzed with one-way ANOVA and Tukey’s post hoc test. For multiple comparisons; P-value here showed difference between the selected group and group M

^c Statistically significant (P < 0.05)
