  1. The path length changes between IS/OS junction and RPE are shown. The mean distances at the baseline and during the stimulation period are given with the standard deviation. The difference between the mean baseline distance and the minimum distance after light exposure is presented. “Time to min. distance” is the cumulative time of retinal light exposure that is required to reach the minimum distance. Bonferroni-corrected p-values are given for comparison of the mean distances at baseline vs. during the light stimulation period.
