For the generalized linear latent and mixed models model outcome, corneal opacity subdivided into 4 groups: (1) CO 0/1 (no or peripheral opacity), (2) CO 2a/2b (central 4 mm, not overlying visual axis), (3) CO 2c/2d (overlying visual axis, but not obscuring all central 4 mm), and (4) CO 3 (overlying whole central 4 mm). Phthisis (CO 4) excluded.
