  • Differences between repeated measurements could not be explained by varying refractive state, preoperative visual acuity or age.

  • Partial Eta squared is calculated as follows: effect/(effect+error);

  • *Describes the analysed interaction, low spherical error defined as −2 D to +2 D and high spherical error as ≤2D and >2D, low versus high cylinder defined as >−1.5 D and <−1.5 D, respectively, CDVA (logMAR). All reported results not significant.

  • ANOVA, analysis of variance; CDVA, corrected distance visual acuity; J0, J45, Jackson cross-cylinder at 0° and 45°; OVD, ophthalmic viscosurgical device; SE, spherical equivalent.
