1Change from baseline to 10 weeks.
2Treatment group difference at 10 weeks.
3Contrast sensitivity was not analyzed statistically as there was practically no variation in the control group. Only two patients in the whole patient population had significant contrast sensitivity impairment at baseline. Both were in the fluoxetine group and both improved to almost normal contrast sensitivity from baseline to 10 weeks.
