aAll variables are represented as mean (SD).
Within-subject’s test for interaction of location and group (Greenhouse-Geisser): F(6,492) = 1.652, P = 0.144, partial η2 = 0.020.
Within-subject’s test for location only (Greenhouse-Geisser): F(2,492) = 13.956, P < 0.001, partial η2 = 0.054.
Pairwise comparisons show: lateral versus middle sourcil, P < 0.001; lateral versus fovea, P < 0.001; middle versus fovea, P = 1.000.
Between-subject’s test for LCEA group: F(3,246) = 29.332, P < 0.001, partial η2 = 0.263. Pairwise comparisons show: frank dysplasia versus all other groups, P < 0.001; borderline dysplasia versus all other groups, P < 0.001; normal acet coverage versus acet overcoverage (P = 0.043).
