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

  • Visual acuity better than 20/40 at the time of videoangiography.

  • Visual acuity 20/40 or worse at the time of videoangiography.

  • Proportions were compared by Fisher’s exact test.
