Table 3 Postoperative Range of Manifest SER and Refractive Predictability. The Highlighted Range of the Table Shows That 80% and 92% of Cases Had 1 Month Postoperative SER Within 1.0 D and 1.5 D, Respectively

Postop SER	Frequency	Percent	Cumulative Percent
−0.5 to 0.5	24	48.0	48.0
−1 to 1	16	32.0	80.0
