Mean visual acuity during follow up. Starting at 64.1 ± 14.0 ETDRS letters at baseline, visual acuity improved to 72.3 ± 14.1 (42–86) letters at year 1, resulting in a mean visual gain of +8.3 ± 11.9 (−21–30) letters (p = 0.006). Throughout the years 2–5, mean visual acuity remained stable (p = 0.99) and was 72.2 ± 9.6 (23–53) ETDRS letters at end of follow-up. There was no association between the mean SRF thickness during the course of years 1–5 and the change in visual acuity from baseline to last follow-up (r = 0.30; p = 0.13). (Mean values; error bars: standard error of the mean).
