	All patients	Sclerocorneal incision group	Corneal incision group	p-value
Number of eyes	20	10	10
Age (years)	74.6 ± 6.23	72.8 ± 6.81	73.8 ± 10.2	0.27
Sex (male/female)	3/17	2/8	1/9	0.54

Axial length (mm)	24.3 ± 2.15	24.6 ± 2.39	23.6 ± 1.09	0.48
Corrected visual acuity (logMAR)	0.123 ± 0.215	0.243 ± 0.233	0.00320 ± 0.106	0.0080
Total surgical time (min)	9.26 ± 1.33	9.31 ± 1.33	9.20 ± 1.40	0.80

Numbers are expressed as mean ± standard deviation or the n value. LogMAR, logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution.
p-values represent the statistical significance of differences between the sclerocorneal and corneal incision groups for each characteristic, adjusted with Bonferroni correction.
