We compared postoperative inflammatory scores individually (redness, congestion, chemosis, foreign body sensation (FBS), and drop intolerance; scored from nil to mild, moderate, or severe on a scale of 0 to 3) and their sum as total inflammatory scores (TIS) on day 1, week 2, and weeks 4\u20136. We also compared the surgery duration and length of the conjunctival incision. Success was evaluated at weeks 4\u20136, defined as alignment within 10 PD of orthophoria, and scar visibility was compared.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Statistical Analysis:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      We compared scores using the Wilcoxon test; duration and length with the paired Student\u2019s\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">t<\/jats:italic>\n                      -test, and proportions with Fisher\u2019s exact test.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Compared to the SSPA, we found significantly lesser FBS, and greater comfort with the FA, evident only until the fortnight following surgery, with no differences thereafter.

There were no differences in the length of the incision of number of sutures used to close the incisions. FA took significantly longer (3.6 min).
