Notes:

*

One subject missing OS data;

defined as 0.50 or greater cup to disc ratio, 0.20 or greater asymmetry between OD and OS, and or notching;

§

retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) changes including RPE hypertrophy, RPE hyperplasia and RPE hypoplasia;

||

including RPE hypertrophy, RPE hyperplasia, RPE hypoplasia, lattice, snail tracking, cystoid degeneration, and other peripheral degenerations (pigmented or nonpigmented of size 25 pixels or greater);

*

numerators indicate the number of observations of lesions present as determined by both methods or in the case of disagreement, by adjudication.
