  1. Patient preoperative data: Artisan group (n = 11), the phakic intraocular lens (pIOL) group who were implanted with ARTISAN® pIOLs [VL (−) pIOLs]; and the Artiflex group (n = 15), the pIOL group who were implanted with ARTIFLEX® pIOLs [VL (+) pIOLs]. There were no significant differences in preoperative age, cycloplegic refractive value, axial length, uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), and best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) between the two groups. SD, standard deviation. Data were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U Test.
