Notes: *Statistically significant with a p-value <0.05. Positive differences refer to counterclockwise change, negative differences refer to clockwise change. aComparing preoperative and one month measurements. bComparing preoperative and one year measurements. cDifferences between one month and one year postoperative values. dComparing one month and one year postoperative measurements.

Abbreviations: CDVA, corrected distance visual acuity; D, diopter; logMAR, logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution; SD, standard deviation; SE, spherical equivalent.
