VA is given in logMAR. All individual eyes were included in the calculation of the median VA. CRR was defined as an increase of at least 0.2 logMAR.
*Clinical parameters which were not available from all patients. Therefore, the sum of patients in the different parameter categories is <35.
CRR, clinically relevant recovery; LHON, Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy; NA, not available; VA, visual acuity.
