Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Defocus Curve

A defocus curve is created by multiple measurements of one's visual acuity at different spherical powers (recorded as Diopters (D)). Visual Acuity (VA) is measured in logMAR. LogMAR is the "logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution".

Time frame: 3 months after surgery
