CI = confidence interval; logMAR = logarithm of minimum angle of resolution; SD = standard deviation; VA = visual acuity.

a

Positive values indicate improvement in fellow-eye visual acuity from baseline.

b

Analysis of covariance model adjusting for baseline fellow-eye visual acuity was used to estimate the mean change in fellow-eye visual acuity within each treatment group as well as the treatment group difference (positive values favor the binocular treatment group) in the mean change in fellow-eye visual acuity from baseline to 4 weeks (P = .26) and to 8 weeks (P = .41).

c

Barnard’s exact test was used to compare the proportion of participants with worsening of ≥ 2 lines in fellow-eye visual acuity from baseline to 4 weeks (P = .25) and to 8 weeks (P = .52) between treatment groups.
