Table 4 CDI measurements in the control group. Ocular perfusion in the control group. CDI measurements obtained from the control group (n = 8). The time period between between first and second measurement was 3–5 weeks. Local and systemic medication was not changed between the two examinations of the patient. Data are given as mean ± standard deviation. Bold printed measures were subjected to statistical testing; all other parameters were observational only.
