Note. P₀: value of the difference between the preoperative and three-month values; P₁: value of the difference between the pure ICL implantation and the traditional ICL implantation groups; : significant difference. LogMAR: logarithm of the minimal angle of resolution; UDVA: uncorrected distance visual acuity; BCVA: best-corrected distance visual acuity; D: diopter.
