*

P-value for Wilcoxon matched pairs signed rank test comparing respective preoperative and final values.

P-value for Mann-Whitney comparing respective first surgery of first eye and all surgeries of all eyes.

Eyes in which both preoperative and final optotype visual acuities were obtained (40 eyes of 40 patients for first surgery of first eye, 59 eyes of 45 patients for all surgeries of all eyes).
