  1. The values are shown as mean ± standard deviation. D = diopter; SEQ = spherical equivalent refraction; Cyl = cylinder error, astigmatism; K1 and K2 = corneal keratometry; RST = residual stromal thickness; IOP = intraocular pressure; CDVA = corrected distance visual acuity
  2. * Because mild myopic target of SEQ and Sphere in some eyes, statistical analysis was not done
  3. Bold value: The significance level was set at 0.05
