Table 2. BCVA (logMAR) at the pre-lockdown and follow-up visits among the control and delayed groups.
Pre-Lockdown BCVA (logMAR) | Follow up BCVA (logMAR) | Significance | |
---|---|---|---|
Control Group (n = 90) | 0.404 | 0.413 | p = 0.70 |
nAMD (n = 57) | 0.391 | 0.419 | p = 0.20 |
DME (n = 30) | 0.417 | 0.449 | p = 0.40 |
RVO (n = 3) | 0.333 | 0.272 | Not significant |
Delayed Group (n = 77) | 0.631 | 0.767 | p = 0.007 |
nAMD (n = 36) | 0.729 | 0.853 | p = 0.04 |
DME (n = 34) | 0.544 | 0.722 | p = 0.06 |
RVO (n = 7) | 0.555 | 0.549 | Not significant |
There was no significant difference between the BCVA at the pre-lockdown (0.404) and follow-up (0.413) in the control group (p = 0.70). BCVA worsened in the delayed group from 0.631 (pre-lockdown) to 0.767 (follow-up). This was statistically significant (p = 0.007). Subgroup analysis was also performed for nAMD and diabetes in both groups and there was a trend towards worsening BCVA in the delayed group.
