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