The table summarizes the pre–post mean (±standard deviation) RNFL thickness of patients with papilledema of each eye from the three cohorts. Each column is labeled with group letter in uppercase; each row is labelled with lowercase letter in the last column on the right. Mean displacement for each eye represents the distance between baseline pre and post positions of the RPE/BM layer at the border of the BMO. Negative values represent a relative posterior axial displacement (away from the vitreous). The mean RNFL calculations from group B are based on six of nine patients with papilledema; three of the patients with optic atrophy were excluded. There was no significant difference in the mean RNFL thickness at baseline between any of the three groups. The drop in RNFL thickness between the baseline and post RNFL was statistically significant for all three groups and for each corresponding eye.
