Table 1 Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty: main outcome measures

Outcome measure	Preoperative	3 months	6 months	1 year
BCVA (LogMAR)	0.78 (0.35)	0.28 (0.15)**	0.20 (0.11)**	0.14 (0.9)**
Graft Thickness (AS-OCT) (μm)	132.3 (32.7)	124.8 (34.0)*	117.8 (36.)**	111.0 (33.8)**
Graft Thickness (IVCM) (μm)	NA	130.0 (35.2)	120.7 (36.7)*	114.7 (37.4)*
Subepithelial haze (LRU)	133.0 (34.3)	98.1 (48.0)*	82.8 (33.9)*	75.6 (32.1)**

Results are expressed as mean (SD)
AS-OCT = Anterior segment optical coherence tomography
IVCM = In vivo confocal microscopy
LRU Light reflectance units
NA Not applicable
* = P <0.05 vs preoperative or 3-month (for graft thickness by IVCM and interface haze) value
** = P < 0.001 vs preoperative value or 3-month (for graft thickness by IVCM and interface haze) value
