Mean ± standard deviations are presented and statistically compared to preoperative values using Generalized Estimating Equations with sequential Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons

IOP intraocular pressure; BCVA best-corrected visual acuity; POM postoperative month; POY postoperative year

Statistical significance is denoted by * for P < 0.05 and ** for P < 0.001
