RVO = retinal vein occlusion, POAG = primary open-angle glaucoma. Age, sex, average peripapillary RNFL thickness, and signal strength of macular scan adjusted mean ± SD. * In patients with a ‘damaged hemisphere’ in the superior hemisphere, thickness parameters in this hemisphere were converted upside down: superior interchanged with inferior. As a result, the inferior hemisphere was the ‘damaged hemisphere’ in all patients. † Independent t-test.
