Studies with \u2265\u200910 ACI patients were included. Data on corneal hysteresis (CH), corneal resistance factor (CRF), CCT, intraocular pressure (IOP): corneal-compensated (IOPcc) and Goldmann-correlated (IOPg) were extracted. Meta-analyses assessed mean differences and heterogeneity (I\u00b2), with sensitivity analyses for outliers and moderators (age, CCT).

Sensitivity analysis showed that CCT as a moderator explained all the heterogeneity (R\u00b2=100%), while age did not (R\u00b2=0%).
