  • KM = averaged keratometry measurement in dioptres. AL = axial length in millimetres. Q = central corneal thickness by an ultrasound pachymeter. ECD = central corneal endothelial density. CV = coefficient of variation in cell area. Numbers in parenthesis indicate the case number in the particular group.
