| | Preoperatively | 3 months postoperatively | value |
| | SMILE | | Mean sphere (D) | −5.26 ± 1.88 (−9.50 to −1.75) | −0.17 ± 0.41 (−1.50 to 0.50) | | | Mean cylinder (D) | −0.99 ± 0.90 (−4.25 to 0) | −0.31 ± 0.37 (−1.25 to 0) | | | Mean SE (D) | −5.76 ± 1.80 (−9.5 to −2.0) | −0.44 ± 0.64 (−2.13 to 0.5) | | | CDVA | 1.04 ± 0.20 (0.63 to 1.60) | 1.04 ± 0.16 (0.63 to 1.40) | 0.509 |
| | FS-LASIK | | Mean sphere (D) | −4.56 ± 2.36 (−9.50 to −0.25) | −0.22 ± 0.37 (−1.50 to 0.50) | | | Mean cylinder (D) | −0.95 ± 0.94 (−5.0 to 0) | −0.20 ± 0.24 (−1.0 to 0) | | | Mean SE (D) | −5.03 ± 2.32 (−9.88 to −0.50) | −0.32 ± 0.39 (−1.63 to 0.5) | | | CDVA | 1.03 ± 0.13 (0.80 to 1.40) | 1.05 ± 0.13 (0.80 to 1.40) | 0.163 |
