  • There was no difference in the baseline demographic characteristics of the ranibizumab versus bevacizumab-treated eyes.

  • *Two-sided Student t tests assuming unequal variance.

  • †Two-sided two-sample proportion Z test.

  • logMAR, log of minimal angle resolution; OCT, optical coherence tomography; SD, standard deviation.
