UCVA = uncorrected visual acuity, recalculated from decimal measurements. BCVA = best spectacle corrected visual acuity. Endothelial cell count denotes the numerical density of cells per mm2 of central cornea: (1) patient had an astigmatic keratotomy 24 months before confocal microscopy; (2) patient underwent a second PRK (correction −2 D) 2 months before the confocal microscopy.
