Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Central Retinal Thickness (microns)12-month

Optical Coherence Tomography will be used to assess central retinal thickness

Retinal Sensitivity (dB)12-month

Microperimetry was done to assess macular sensitivity

Visual Acuity (LogMAR)12-month

ETDRS charts were used to assess best corrected visual acuity
