  1. The least squares mean is the mean of each group estimated in a mixed-effects model that accounts for binocular correlation. Intergroup comparisons are shown as intergroup differences in the least-squares means between TK-98 and placebo (95% confidence interval). Total point score was calculated as the sum of visual sensitivities for all measured locations. SE standard error, dB decibel, MD mean deviation.
