Postoperative uncorrected distance visual acuity0.04 (SD 0.09)
Range 0.50 to −0.20
Postoperative corrected distance visual acuity0.01 (SD 0.05)
Range 0.30 to −0.20
Change in corrected distance visual acuity−0.15 (SD 0.27)
Range 0.2 to −2.0

Refraction
Target spherical equivalent (D)−0.27 (SD 0.43)
Range from −3.82 to 1.84
Residual spherical equivalent (D)−0.04 (SD −0.22)
Range from −1.88 to 0.75
