aBCVA reported in logMAR.

bAll nystagmus was horizontal and conjugate with accelerating slow phases.

cStructural grading was based on the scheme previously described: Thomas M.G., Kumar A., Mohammad S. et al. Structural grading of foveal hypoplasia using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography a predictor of visual acuity? Ophthalmology 2011, 1653–1660.

Abbreviations: FHONDA = foveal hypoplasia with optic nerve decussation defects and anterior segment dysgenesis without albinism; F = female; M = male; RE = right eye; LE = left eye; BCVA = best corrected visual acuity; CSM = central steady and maintained; OCT = optical coherence tomography; VEP = visual evoked potentials; TID = trans-illumination defects of iris; BDJ = Bidirectional jerk; DJ = dual jerk; PPFS = pseudopendular with foveating saccades; PFS = pendular with foveating saccades; PAN = periodic alternating nystagmus; N/A = not available; CMR = concentric macular ring sign present.
