VHD = vitreous hyper-reflective dot; BCVA = best-corrected visual acuity; logMAR = the logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution; D = diopters; CRT = central subfield retinal thickness.

Results are expressed a mean ± standard deviation.

*Incidence of VHDs in total cases of stated condition.

P values were calculated with the chi-square analysis or Fisher exact test for categorical variables and t-test for continuous variables.
