Table 2 Comparison of the unadjusted mean absolute refractive error (MAEUNADJ), adjusted MAE without considering corneal power (MAEWCP), and adjusted MAE according to corneal power (MAEACP) of the second eye in each subgroup (Repeated measures ANOVA with Bonferroni correction)
MAE of second eye (D) | Total (n = 134) | Within cut-off values [line break] 42.8D ≤ K < 44.6D (n = 64) | Outside cut-off values [line break] K < 42.8D or 44.6D ≤ K (n = 70) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Unadjusted MAE (MAEUNADJ), D (SD) | 0.36 (0.27) | 0.33 (0.26) | 0.40 (0.28) | |
Adjusted MAE without considering corneal power (MAEWCP), D (SD) | 0.28 (0.22) | 0.33 (0.24) | 0.24 (0.20) | |
Adjusted MAE according to corneal power (MAEACP), D (SD) | 0.26 (0.23) | 0.31 (0.24) | 0.21 (0.21) | |
P value | MAEUNADJ vs. MAEWCP | < 0.001 | > 0.999 | < 0.001 |
MAEUNADJ vs. MAEACP | < 0.001 | > 0.999 | < 0.001 | |
MAEWCP vs. MAEACP | 0.027 | 0.549 | 0.032 | |
