M = male; F = female; LP = light perception; HM = hand motion, hypermetropia classified based on refractive error; LH = low hypermetropia (āˆ’0.25 D to +ā€‰2.75 D); MH = moderate hypermetropia (+3.00 D to +5.00 D); HH = high hypermetropia (> + 5.00 D); M = myopia; MAA = mild arteriolar attenuation; GDA = greyish desaturated appearance; ILM = inner limiting membrane; NRA = normal retinal architecture; IS/OS = inner segment/outer segment; NA = not available
