Table 2 Estimates of the fixed effects of the best fitted mixed model with a corrected Akaike information criterion (AICc) of 925.2. Estimates are given for the change in qAF units before and after cataract surgery. CI confidence interval, FLACS femtosecond-laser assisted cataract surgery, NO nuclear opacities, C cortical opacities, P posterior subcapsular opacities, qAF quantitative autofluorescence.
