  • The refractive error=postoperative spherical equivalent power − preoperative target refraction.

  • The refractive error was recorded at 6 months after surgery.

  • For the refractive error, the Mann-Whitney U test showed a significant difference between NR81K and CZ70BD groups and between All IOLs and AN6KA.

  • For the anterior chamber depth, Kruskal-Wallis test showed no significant difference between NR81K, CZ70BD and AN6KA groups.

  • Data are mean±SD.

  • *P<0.05, **p<0.01.

  • D, dioptre; IOL, intraocular lens; m, month; n, number of cases.
