Continuous secondary outcomes (OCT, letter score, electrophysiological data, colour vision data, visual field data and quality of life data) will be analysed in the same way as the primary outcome.
Patients and their families are the main source of information regarding post-ICU outcomes through letters (71%) or occasional visits (72%).
