Table 2.

Results from the repeated measures two-factor analysis of variance comparing the mean accommodative lag and mean accommodative variability (time domain [root mean square, RMS] the low-frequency component [LFC, 0-0.6Hz]) between groups and by condition within each group.

#

Data log transformed for analysis; reported as arithmetic median differences

*

positive difference indicates the outcome variable (accommodative lag, RMS or LFC) is largest in the passive condition

ˆ

positive difference indicates outcome variable is largest in the first group listed

Significant P-values (< 0.05) are in bold
