Abbreviations: BCVA, best corrected visual acuity; CCT, Cambridge color vision test; CESD, The Centre for Epidemiologic Studies Depression scale; CS, contrast sensitivity; EOG, electrooculogram; GHQ12, General Health Questionnaire of psychological wellbeing; KSS, Karolinska Sleep Scale; mfERG, multifocal electroretinogram; MP1, microperimetry; OCT CST, optical coherence tomography mean central subfield thickness; OCT maxST, mean thickness of OCT subfield with maximal pathology; PSQI, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index; PVT-NL, psychomotor vigilance task (PVT) number of lapses; PVT-RT, PVT response time.

Data are presented as means with SD or 95% confidence intervals, corrected for hours of mask wear. P-values refer to paired t-tests of change in outcome (month 3 minus baseline), are uncorrected and should be interpreted against adjusted values of α (see text). Levels of P ≤ 0.05 are shown in bold.
