Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Differences in the postoperative visual acuity and the postoperative central foveal thickness between the two groups. The main outcome measure was change in best-corrected visual acuity and correlation between best-corrected visual acuity and spectral-domain optical coherence tomography.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Differences in the mean time of the subretinal fluid resolution between the two groups.	—
