CME = cystoid macular edema; OCT = optical coherence tomography; BCVA = best-corrected visual acuity; logMAR = the logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution; D = diopters; CRT = central subfield retinal thickness; VHD = vitreous hyper-reflective dot.
Results are expressed a mean ± standard deviation.
*Incidence of CME in total cases of each condition.
P values were calculated with the Fisher exact test for categorical variables and the Mann-Whitney U test for continuous variables.
