Note: patient no. 6 and 7 underwent vitrectomy because of vitreous opacity, no obvious granuloma was found during the operation, and the imaging examinations (except B-mode ultrasound) were the results of postoperative examination. Patient no. 8 and 9 performed only an aqueous humor test for Ascaris lumbricoides IgG. GWC: Goldmann–Witmer coefficient. The GWC was calculated as ([specific IgG in aqueous humor/specific IgG in serum]/[total IgG in aqueous humor/total IgG in serum]).
