*

Not OCT 3. Center point obtained from average of three line scans through presumed foveal center.

Retinal Thickness Analyzer, not an OCT, evaluation of mean foveal thickness.

Results using 6 mm scan (fast macular scans) and 3.5 mm scan (high density).

§

Article provided data on subjects with diabetes but not specifically subjects with diabetes and no retinopathy.

Automatically generated values and values determined by manually locating the minimum value along each radial scan using the raw data and averaging over those values.
