PD-DA: patients treated with dopamine agonists; PD-nDA: patients not treated with dopamine agonists; BCVA: best-corrected visual acuity; logMAR: logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution; FAZ: foveal avascular zone. Two-way repeated measures ANOVA. ^Data are expressed as . value <0.05 was considered statistically significant.
