Difference in BMO-MRW, RNFL and MT between CCS and FLACS groups in the three follow-up visits.

	CCS preop–FLACS preop		CCS 1 mo–FLACS 1 mo		CCS 6 mo–FLACS 6 mo
Parameter	ΔMean (95% CI)	value	ΔMean (95% CI)	value	ΔMean (95% CI)	value
BMO-MRW	−4.87 (−23.58–13.84)	0.61	−8.09 (−26.81–10.62)	0.397	−3.71 (−22.42–15)	0.698
RNFL	−2.61 (−6.01–0.79)	0.133	−3.14 (−6.54–0.26)	0.07	−2.15 (−5.54–1.25)	0.216
MT	−9.64 (−17.02–−2.25)	0.011	−11.83 (−19.21–−4.44)	0.002	−10.22 (−17.61–−2.84)	0.007

Preop = preoperative. 1 mo = 1 month potoperative. 6 mo = 6 months postoperative. Data are reported as the difference in mean values (ΔMean) with its respective 95% confidence interval (95% CI).
