- aHigh and low-level were divided by median ablation ratio in univariate analysis. Parameters with P value less than 0.1 in any one of follow-ups were entered into a multivariable analysis using generalized estimating equations. SMILE= small incision lenticule extraction; FS-LASIK=femtosecond laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis; PCE=posterior central elevation; PTE=posterior corneal surface at thinnest point; PME=posterior corneal mean elevation; NS=not significant. P values less than 0.05 were considered statistically significant
