  • SLO=scanning laser ophthalmoscope; RPE=retinal pigment epithelium; ICG=indocyanine green.

  • Data for the acute phase was taken at a mean of 1 week after onset.

  • Data for the convalescent phase was taken at a mean of 16 months after onset.

  • Proportions were compared by Fisher’s exact test.
