Dear Eberhard Spoerl, Thank you for your kind interest in our paper [1] and the important points you suggest in your letter [2]. As you proposed we performed univariate analysis including postoperative corneal thickness and intraocular pressure as covariates. Interestingly both the mean CH and CRF were significantly different between steroid induced ocular hypertension and control groups (p values for CH and CRF were p = 0.001 for each). Kind regards
