SD = Standard Deviation

P value for improvement to best-measured acuity outcome from analysis of covariance adjusted for baseline acuity, P value for resolution outcome from logistic regression analysis adjusted for baseline acuity

Interocular acuity difference evaluated using better sound eye at baseline or visit of bestmeasured amblyopic eye acuity

3 patients meeting only cylinder criteria are not included

D = diopter

This table does not include data on the additional long-term follow-up visit (4-6 months) for patients whose amblyopia resolved.
