Changes in the mean CFT and BCVA after PDT. a A significant mean increase in CFT was observed 1 day after PDT compared to baseline (P = 0.001, Wilcoxon signed-rank test), followed by spontaneous decreases at 1 week and 1 month after treatment. b A significant deterioration in the BCVA was noted on the day after PDT compared to baseline (P = 0.005, Wilcoxon signed-rank test), but the BCVA improved spontaneously by 1 month after treatment. The error bars represent the distance of 1.5 times the interquartile range (IQR) below the 1st quartile and above the 3rd quartile. For outliers, the cases exceeding 1.5 times the IQR above the 3rd quartile are presented as a circle (°), and one case exceeding 3 times the IQR above the 3rd quartile is presented as an asterisk (*). BCVA, best-corrected visual acuity; CFT, central foveal thickness; logMAR, logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution; PDT, photodynamic therapy
