Table 3.

Estimated rate of change (and 95 percent confidence intervals) in Bruch’s membrane opening minimum rim width (MRW) for African descent and European descent individuals within diagnostic groups. Values shown are adjusted for age, mean IOP during follow-up, CCT, axial length, and Bruch’s membrane opening area.
