1The retrospective nature of this study resulted in missing data, including the duration of diabetes for one patient, baseline BCVA for one eye, and follow-up BCVA for another eye. 2DR, diabetic retinopathy; IQR, interquartile range; BCVA, best-corrected visual acuity; LogMar, logarithm of the minimal angle of resolution.
