  1. A multivariate mixed-effects model accounting for correlation between fellow eyes in the same individuals was created for each macular retinal layer with explanatory variables including FDD, age, sex, MD, axial length, optic disc area, ovality index, optic disc torsion, FDA, retinal artery angle, cpRNFL thickness, and OCT image quality scores, and an interaction term between diagnosis (normal or glaucoma) and FDD. Only the coefficients for FDD for each group and the interaction term between diagnosis and FDD are shown in the table.
