  1. TBUT Tear break-up time, logMAR Logarithmic minimum angle of resolution, BCVA Best corrected visual acuity, *: P < 0.05
  2. The P-values, Estimated Marginal Means and their standard errors (SEs) were calculated by General Estimating Equations after adjusting for age, sex, eyes, measurement times, HD duration, and primary diseases
