  1. P value was assessed by the Wilcoxon signed rank test (non-parametric); UT-DSAEK= ultrathin Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty; DMEK= Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty; HOAs= high order aberrations; *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01. Data are presented as mean ± standard deviation (SD). All values are in micrometers
