BCVA: best-corrected visual acuity. logMAR: 10 logarithm of minimum angle of resolution letters. CRT: central retinal thickness. IOP: intraocular pressure. DEX: dexamethasone intravitreal implant. IVC: intravitreal injection of conbercept. PPV: pars plana vitrectomy. ERD: exudative retinal detachment. TTT: transpupillary thermotherapy.
