Comparison between operated and unoperated eye in patients who underwent unilateral implantation.
Three patients had LASIK in private centers elsewhere with two and three of them having no available data on pre-LASIK refraction and CDVA, respectively.
CDVA = corrected distance visual acuity; D = dioptres; LogMAR = logarithm of minimum angle of resolution; MRSE = manifest refraction spherical equivalent.
