*, P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. SD, spherical diopter; SE, spherical equivalence; J0, the axial 0°/180° representing with/against the rule of astigmatism; J45, the axial 45°/135° representing the oblique axis of astigmatism; x¯±s, mean ± standard deviation; CI, confidence interval; D, diopter.
