Pure ICL Implantation: A Novel Ophthalmic Viscosurgical Device-Free Method

Table 1

Preoperative demographics of the eyes undergoing the pure ICL implantation and traditional ICL implantation.

	Pure method	Traditional method	value
Age (years)	24.650 ± 3.282 (21, 35 years)	24.750 ± 3.319 (21, 35 years)
Gender	Male : female = 8 : 12	Male : female = 10 : 10
Spherical equivalent (D)	−11.306 ± 1.314 (−6.25∼−9.25)	−11.638 ± 1.431 (−6.25∼−9.50)
LogMAR UDVA	1.283 ± 0.226 (1.6–0.8)	1.230 ± 0.219 (1.6–0.8)
LogMAR CDVA	0.165 ± 0.103 (0.3–0)	0.182 ± 0.098 (0.3–0)

Note. P: value of the data statistically compared between the pure ICL implantation group and the traditional ICL implantation groups. LogMAR: logarithm of the minimal angle of resolution; UDVA: uncorrected distance visual acuity; CDVA: corrected distance visual acuity; D: diopter.
