Abbreviations: BCVA, best-corrected visual acuity; ERG, electroretinography; LP, light perception; NA, not applicable; NLP, no light perception; NP, not performed; TDI, threshold for butanol, discrimination, and identification of odorants, assessed using the Sniffin’ Sticks (Burghart Messtechnik) test (1 to 16.5 indicates functional anosmia, >16.5 to 30.5 indicates hyposmia, and >30.5 indicates normosmia).

a

For pseudophakic patients, refraction before cataract surgery is given.

b

Age range, 16 to 35 years.

c

Patients 4 and 5 are brother and sister.

d

Phthisis bulbi with retinal detachment after glaucoma surgery.

e

Cataract surgery was performed before the patient's first visit and therefore, exact refraction before surgery is not known.

f

Testing with the T&T olfactometer (Daiichi Yakuhin Sangyo) produces a combined test score from threshold testing and odor identification for 5 odors each.
