- Change from baseline of the best corrected visual acuity at 100% contrast [ Time Frame: Baseline, 6 months ]Best corrected visual acuity using the ETDRS logMar chart at 100% contrast
- Visual field mean deviation change from baseline [ Time Frame: Baseline, 6 months, 12 months ]Visual field analyses are performed using the standard automated perimetry method
- Reappearance or improvement of the P00 wave on Visual Evoked Potential [ Time Frame: Baseline, 6 months, 12 months ]Two parameters will be evaluated: (1) presence of a clear P100 wave, (2) P100 latency
- Optical Coherence Tomography [ Time Frame: Baseline, 6 months, 12 months ]Values of RNFL thickness and macular volume
