Legend: PFD= Positive Fluid Discrepancy: RC identified macular fluid on OCT and the ophthalmologist did not administer treatment at the corresponding visit when there were no contraindications to treatment. Macular fluid = presence of one or more of the following on OCT: intraretinal fluid, subretinal fluid, and sub-retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) fluid.

155 eyes that did not have subsequent visit after positive fluid discrepancy were excluded.
