| VA (1st eye) = present corrected visual acuity of the first eye (RE or LE) in logMAR (logarithm of the minimal angle of resolution scale). | ||||||||
| VA (2nd eye) = present corrected visual acuity of the second eye (RE or LE) in logMAR. | ||||||||
| SE (1st eye) = refraction error in spherical equivalent of the first eye. | ||||||||
| SE (2nd eye) = refraction error in spherical equivalent of the second eye. | ||||||||
| Visual acuity and refraction error are means (SD). | ||||||||
| NA = not applicable, NS, not significant. | ||||||||
