Table 2.
Characteristics of adaptive optics parameters with respect to diagnosis during the initial check (data collected in 2015). BCVA: best corrected visual acuity; DM: cone density (1/mm), SM: cone spacing (μm); REG: cone regularity (%); CD: cone dystrophy; CRD: cone–rod dystrophy; STGD: Stargardt disease. The bold was used in all p-Values lower than 0.05 (=with statistical significance).
