One hundred and thirty-eight eyes of 131 patients (mean age 28.7 ± 11.4 years; female 30%) had thin cornea, and 892 eyes (748 patients, 26 ± 10.3 years; female 30%) had thick cornea. Mean (SD) age was 59 (17) years (range 18 to 94) and 159 (36%) eyes had mixed (aqueous deficiency and evaporative) dry eye and 218 (49%) eyes had only evaporative dry eye. In eyes with raised IOP, rAAV treatment significantly preserved RGC counts (n = 10 eyes, 1813 ± 158 cells/field) compared to vehicle treatment (n = 9 eyes; 1416 ± 202 cells/field; p = 0.046).
