  1. tROP, retinopathy of prematurity with treatment; srROP, spontaneously regressed retinopathy of prematurity; SER, spherical equivalent refractive errors; SE, standard error; BCVA, best corrected visual acuity; pRNFL, peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer; GCIPL, ganglion cell and inner plexiform layer; SRCP, superficial retinal capillary plexus; DRCP, deep retinal capillary plexus; RPC, radial peripapillary capillary; c, center; ave, average value.
  2. p values by linear regression analysis with adjustment for age, birth weight, and gestational age.
  3. Boldface indicates statistical significance.
