Comparative analysis among groups with different PRL locations. S: eyes with superior PRLs, T: eyes with temporal PRLs, N: eyes with nasal PRLs, M: eyes with multiple PRLs, and inside: PRLs located in the “dark area” where the sensitivity map appeared dark on MAIA examination. (A) The mean sensitivity of macular area in 10 deg diameter (MS) in the five groups, the inside group was statistically lower than that of the groups S (P < 0.01), T (P < 0.01), and N (P < 0.01), and the mean MS was not statistically different between the inside group and group M (P > 0.05). There was also a statistical difference between group T and group M (P < 0.05). (B) The logMAR best corrected visual acuity among five groups, there was no significant difference among these five groups (F = 0.579, P = 0.681) in logMAR visual acuity for distance. (C,D) The variations in log 63% BCEA and log 95% BCEA among five groups, both of them were higher in group M than in group S (P < 0.01), group T (P < 0.01), group N (P < 0.01), and the inside group (P < 0.01). The log 63% BCEA and log 95% BCEA in the inside group were statistically higher than in group S (P < 0.05), group T (P < 0.05), and group N (P < 0.05). **indicates P < 0.01, * P < 0.05.
