  1. Except where indicated otherwise, values are mean ± standard deviation or number (%).
  2. *Comparison was performed using the Student t test.
  3. †Comparison was performed using the two proportion z-test.
  4. ‡Corrected area calculated in consideration of the magnification factors related to the SD-OCT camera and the eye by substituting the subject’s axial length.
  5. Statistically significant values are shown in bold (P < 0.05).
  6. BCVA: best-corrected visual acuity; cpRNFL: circumpapillary retinal nerve fiber layer; IOP: intraocular pressure; LC: lamina cribrosa; MD: mean deviation.
