The incidence of a >2 D increase in refractive cylinder was 0.0% 1 year after ICL surgery.

Does it mean the incidence was increased by >2 D or increased to >2 D?

TIA!!!

Thanks! It's my mistake. What I wanted to know is whether ">2 D increase " means "increased by >2 D" or "increased to >2 D".

the incidence was 0.0%

No, the incidence was 0.0%
Rewriting:
The incidence *of an increase of more than 2D* in the refractive cylinder....was 0.0% (1 year after ICL surgery)...
