Eyes with an afferent pupillary defect had a significantly higher median IOP. IOP measured during the baseline ophthalmic evaluation was relatively lower in participants with vitreous cell on clinical examination and vitreous opacities identified through OCT. Data are presented as median and interquartile range, with mean difference and 95% confidence interval. Estimates are adjusted for age and sex. Boldface indicates statistical significance.
IOP = intraocular pressure.
