13 children are missing binocular acuity at one year: 10 children with baseline binocular acuity 20/40 to 20/80 and 3 children with baseline binocular acuity 20/100 to 20/320. Therefore, the effective Ns for change in binocular acuity and for binocular acuity at one year are both 100 children overall.

Percentages are cumulative probabilities derived from Kaplan-Meier product-limit method.
