Age, sex, BCVA, cataract hardness, CTT (Central corneal thickness), AxL, VF-MD (Visual field-mean deviation), RNFL, GCC, duration of surgery, EPE, and IOP values were similar between the two groups (
P > 0.05 for all). ICCs were calculated to assess intragrader and intergrader reliability between the two observers. Intragrader ICCs of grader 1 for preoperative, D1, W1, M1, M2, and M3 readings were 0.977, 0.990, 0.980, 0.978, 0.969, and 0.991, and those of grader 2 were 0.969, 0.984, 0.967, 0.982, 0.985, and 0.977, respectively. The interreader ICCs for preoperative, D1, W1, M1, M2, and M3 readings were 0.946, 0.991, 0.987, 0.977, 0.990, and 0.992, respectively. The patients’ demographic and clinical characteristics are presented in
Table 1. Pseudophakic cystoid macular edema (PCME) was detected at the M1 follow-up in one (5.26%) of the 19 patients in the PXS group, and this patient's data were excluded from the choroid analyses.
