BCVA: best-corrected visual acuity; IOP: intraocular pressure; SE: spherical equivalent; D: diopters; MD: mean deviation; PSD: pattern standard deviation. p *: level of statistical significance in comparison between groups using the Mann–Whitney U test (except for eye, gender, Chi-square). Bold text indicates statistically significant results (p < 0.05).
