Temporal change of BCVA by line and mean BCVA after IVD. At 1 month after IVD, the mean BCVA had improved dramatically by 3.45 ± 2.29 and only 0.14 ± 0.66 lines from baseline in the IVD and control groups, respectively (, IVD vs. control). Thereafter, the BCVA in the IVD group continued to improve at a slower rate compared to stable BCVA in the control group. At 6 months after IVD, the mean BCVA had increased by 5.0 ± 2.77 lines to 0.31 ± 0.22 logMAR and only 0.14 ± 0.66 lines to 0.74 ± 0.36 logMAR from baseline in the IVD and control groups, respectively (). The logMAR BCVAs and line improvement differed significantly at 1, 2, 3, and 6 months after treatment between the two groups. compared to baseline.
