DLTV subscale Subscale 1 (resolution items) Subscale 2 (complex visual tasks) Subscale 3 (confidence related items) Subscale 4 (light and dark adaptation)
Level 1: Cannot care for self (27) 18 (22) 41 (24) 27 (15) 47 (31)
Level 2: Can look after self but not others (26) 27 (25) 60 (22) 37 (19) 64 (28)

One way ANOVA p<0.001 p<0.001 p<0.001 p<0.01

DLTV  =  daily living tasks dependent on vision. Marked differences in mean subscale scores are seen between the care levels in subscales 1 and 2.
