Relationship between postoperative best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and preoperative subepithelial haze, interface haze, postoperative subepithelial haze at any follow-up visit after Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty. a A significant correlation between preoperative subepithelial haze and postoperative BCVA was found at 3 and 6 months (r = 0.61, P < 0.001 and r = 0.46, P = 0.002 respectively), while it was not significant at month 12 (r = 0.32, P = 0.068). b At 3 months and 6 months follow-up interface haze and postoperative BCVA were significantly correlated (r = 0.51, P < 0.001 at 3 months; r = 0.46, P = 0.003 at 6 months), whereas there was no correlation at 1 year (r = 0.07, P = 0.69). c At 3 months and 6 months a low even if statistically significant correlation between postoperative subepithelial haze and postoperative BCVA (r = 0.43, P = 0.004 at 3 months; r = 0.39, P = 0.001 at 6 months) was found, while at 1 year the correlation was not significant (r = 0.26, P > 0.05).
