  1. Note: Data are shown as mean ± SD or proportion, as appropriate
  2. aPI before ICL implantation vs. YAG PI before ICL implantation
  3. -: Not assessed. IOP: intraocular pressure
  4. The IOP and BCVA were assessed on postoperative 1 day
  5. Elevated IOP: postoperative IOP >21 mmHg or IOP increased by >5 mmHg over the preoperative IOP
