Figure 1
Changes in AL in the treated and untreated eyes during the observation (n = 32) and treatment (n = 40) periods and changes in interocular differences after treatment. (a) Changes in AL in the treated and untreated eyes. In the treated eyes, AL changed significantly during the observation period (p < 0.001), but not during the treatment period (p = 0.389). In the untreated eyes, AL changed significantly during both the observation and treatment periods (both p < 0.001). (b) Annual changes in AL were not significant in the treated eyes (p = 0.596), but were significant in the untreated eyes (p < 0.001). (c) Annual changes in interocular differences decreased significantly (p < 0.001). *p < 0.001, generalized estimating equation; **p < 0.001, paired-sample t test. Error bars in panel (a) indicate one standard error at each time point and for each group; box plots in panels (b) and (c) indicate the minimum, first quartile, median, third quartile, and maximum values.
