Figure 3 Changes in corneal astigmatism over different corneal zones for different groups during time. (A) for Group A1 and Group B1 over corneal 4mm zone.(B) for Group A1 and Group B1 over corneal 6mm zone.(C) for Group A2 and Group B2 over corneal 4mm zone.(D) for Group A2 and Group B2 over corneal 6mm zone.

Notes: *Significant difference between the two groups (P<0.05).

Figure 4 Double-angle vector diagrams of SIA over different corneal zones for different groups at 6 months postoperatively. (A) for Group A1; (B) for Group B1; (C) for Group A2; (D) for Group B2. The coordinates of SIA for each eye are shown with yellow dots, and centroid values are shown with black squares. Red cycle means 95% confidence ellipse of the centroid. Blue cycle means 95% confidence ellipse of the dataset. Each ring=0.50D.
