Sociodemographic and ophthalmic characteristics of the study participants
| Healthy controls (n = 12) | Parents (n = 13) | Schizophrenic patients (n = 13) | P-value | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gender | 7 male | 3 male | 6 male | P < 0.001 |
| 5 female | 10 female | 7 female | ||
| VA (logMAR) | 0.53 (0.08) | 0.35 (0.11) | 0.33 (0.12) | P = 0.097* |
| Age (years) | 38.46 (14.79) | 60.92 (9.83) | 37.85 (8.42) | P < 0.001† |
| IOP (mmHg) | 15.83 (2.59) | 16.23 (2.20) | 16.46 (2.81) | P = 0.83 |
| Refraction | −0.64 (1.02) | −0.73 (2.90) | −0.51 (2.80) | P = 0.88 |
Notes: Data are presented as means, with standard deviations in parentheses. Acuity in logMAR. Refraction = spherical equivalent.
†
Statistically significant difference between parents and schizophrenic patients and healthy controls;
*
no statistically significant difference between healthy controls and schizophrenic patients.
Abbreviations: IOP, intraocular pressure; VA, visual acuity ; logMAR, logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution.
