Fig. 7　Outcome after scleral imbrication (A) The average best-corrected visual acuity is not improved significantly at 3 and 6 months postoperatively (P＝0.147 and P＝0.621, Wilcoxon test) . At 12 months postoperatively, the visual acuity is significantly better than that at the baseline (P＝0.028) . (B) Central foveal thickness is significantly reduced at 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively (P＝0.012, 0.012, and 0.012, respectively) . (C) The average axial length is significantly shorter at 1 month after the surgery, and then gradually recovers to the original length. However, the axial length is still shorter than that of the baseline at 6 months (P＝0.012) and 12 months (P＝0.012) . (D) The steepness of the curve of the eyewall is represented by the coefficient a in a second-order polynomial equation, ax2 + bx + c. After the scleral imbrication, the steepness of the posterior eyewall slightly decreased (P＝0.036 at 6 months and P＝0.049 at 12 months) .
