DPE: deepest point of the eyeball. *Data are presented as mean ± standard deviation unless otherwise indicated. †Independent t-test for continuous variables between the glaucomatous and healthy eye groups. ‡Statistically significant values (P < 0.05) are shown in bold. §χ² test for categorical variables.
