Table 2.
Change from presentation for optic nerve head (ONH) shape, retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness, optic nerve head volume and Frisėn grade grouped by the change in peripapillary wrinkles (PPW), retinal folds (RF), and choroidal folds (CF) at six months – with Bonferonni correction. For optic nerve head shape (eigenvalue of the second principal component) change, minus is used for posterior direction movement away from the vitreous for the retinal pigment epithelium/Bruch’s membrane neural canal border. For retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (µm), optic nerve head volume (mm3), and Frisėn grade change positive is for less thickness or swelling.

Note that for both resolved and worse change of the peripapillary wrinkles, the retinal nerve fiber layer thickness, optic nerve head volume and Frisėn are less swollen or decreased. N is the number of study eyes with the specific type of fold. Std. dev. is the standard deviation. The confidence interval (CI) is the 95th percentile.
