Corneal Thickness
To measure corneal thickness using anterior segment optical coherence tomography.
Time frame: 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, 12 months and 18 months postoperatively
Corneal Transparency
The transparency and appearance of the cornea will be observed using slit-lamp microscopy
Time frame: Preoperatively, 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, 12 months and 18 months postoperatively
