  1. One patient each with proliferative diabetic retinopathy, advanced glaucoma, and moderate-to-severe cataract were excluded from the analysis of visual acuity.
  2. BSCVA best spectacle-corrected visual acuity, HOA higher-order aberration, logMAR logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution, B partial regression coefficient, CI confidence interval, β  standardised partial regression coefficient, R2 coefficient of determination.
