BCVA = best corrected visual acuity (in decimal values); CCT = central corneal thickness; y = years; m = male; f = female; ECC = endothelial cell count; FECD = Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy; PBK = pseudophakic bullous keratopathy. Where possible, data are presented as the mean ± standard deviation (SD).
