Inclusion required refraction within 1\u2009month postoperatively, at several-month intervals during the first year, and annually thereafter.

Plotting refractive change against the logarithm of elapsed postoperative time yielded a linear relationship (aphakia: r=\u22120.979, p&lt;0.001, pseudophakia: r=\u22120.893, p&lt;0.001). At the final visit, median myopic shift was \u22128.4 D (IQR, \u221211.2 to \u22125.5 D) in bilateral aphakia and \u221211.5 D (\u221217.9 to \u22127.5 D) in bilateral pseudophakia.
