Group 1 consists of 20 RP patients (40 eyes) who received combined rEMS with PRP. In this group, patients received rEMS for 30 minutes before subtenon PRP injections. In this group, 3 loading doses were applied at 3-week intervals. Then 2 booster dose were applied at 6-month intervals.

Group 2 consists of 20 RP patients (40 eyes). In this group, patients received only subtenon PRP injections. In this group, 3 loading doses were applied at 3-week intervals. Then 2 booster dose were applied at 6-month intervals.

Group 3 consists of 20 RP patients (40 eyes). Patients in this group did not accept any interventional application and were only followed up. The

Patients were administered 0.5-mg IVR injections monthly for 6 months.

Totally, 25 eyes of 25 patients (13 males, 12 females, mean age 63.80±11.45 years; range: 41–80 years) were included in the study

ETDRS charts present a series of five letters of equal difficulty on each row for a total of 14 lines (70 letters). An ETDRS letter score can be calculated as follows: when 20 or more letters are read correctly at 4.0 m, the visual acuity letter score is equal to the total number of letters read correctly at 4.0 m plus 30. If fewer than 20 letters are read correctly at 4.0 m, the visual acuity letter score is equal to the total number of letters read correctly at 4.0 m plus the total number of letters read correctly at 1.0 m in the first six lines.

BCVA (ETDRS letters)

Central retinal thickness (CRT) was measured using optical coherence tomography

Total microaneurysms (number)

MA turnover was calculated by adding the MA formation rate (number of new MAs detected/month) to the MA disappearance rate (number of MAs that resolved/month)

BCVA was performed using the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) chart at baseline and 6 months. The BCVA compare the degree of improvement or worsening of vision at baseline and 6 months. (value at 6 months minus value at baseline)

Before the treatment regimen, assessment of BCVA using the ETDRS charts.

Central Macular Thickness(CMT)

The number of MAs in individual retinas were evaluated during 6 months using fundus photography and FA imaging. The Retmarker software was used for automatic measurement and analysis of changes in number and extent of MAs on fundus photographs and to calculate the total number and turnover of MAs. Changes in MAs were analyzed statistically. the total number of MAs compare the degree of improvement or worsening of vision at baseline and 6 months. (value at 6 months minus value at baseline)

The number of MAs in individual retinas were evaluated at first visit using fundus photography and FA imaging. The Retmarker software was used for automatic measurement and analysis of changes in number and extent of MAs on fundus photographs and to calculate the total number and turnover of MAs.
