Data are presented as mean ± standard deviation (SD) for continuous variables (age, acculturation score, and co-morbidities); categorical variables are presented as frequency counts with percents (%) of individuals in severity of visual field loss category.

^†

P-values based on ANOVA for continuous variables and chi-square tests for categorical variables (with Bonferroni-adjusted pairwise comparisons).

^‡

Acculturation was measured using the short-form Cuellar Acculturation Scale.

^§

Number of self-reported co-morbidities (diabetes, arthritis, stroke/brain hemorrhage, high blood pressure, angina, heart attack, heart failure, asthma, skin cancer, other cancer, back problems, hearing problems and other major health problems).

^¶

Visual Acuity Loss was defined as presenting visual acuity 20/40 or worse.
