  1. RCD = retinal capillary density; Control = control eyes; NDR = diabetic patients with no diabetic retinopathy; MDR = diabetic patients with mild diabetic retinopathy; SRCL = superficial retinal capillary layer; DRCL = deep retinal capillary layer
  2. P value for the comparisons between the three groups by ANOVA
  3. Bold P-value represents < 0.05
