Table 1.

The results of concordance testing for POS with variable criterion values for success ranging from 50 or greater to 90% or greater (rows) versus visual ability (Goals) and reading function (Reading) AI change score criteria for a successful outcome ranging from 0.2 logit or greater to 1.2 logit or greater (columns). Each cell of the matrix contains a kappa value. None of the combinations of criteria for POS scores or AI change scores was significantly different from zero.
