Table 2.

Probability calculator with regression coefficient, showing an example of: 65-year-old pseudophakic man, with a 2-day history of loss of vision and pre-operative VA of 3/60, has an 85.4% chance of regaining VA of 6/12 or better if operated on less than 3 days compared to 76.2% chance if operated on 3–7 days.
