For categorical variables, absolute and relative frequencies are given, and for approximately normally distributed continuous variables, mean and standard deviation (mean ± SD), or median and interquartile range are given. OD = right eye, OS = left eye, eyes with RVO, and fellow eyes of subjects with RVO in the other eye.
