Notes
1 Additional vision testing data, plus information for the other eye, in Table A S4 File.
2 Codes: M = male, F = female; L = left eye (i.e., OS, ocular sinister), R = right eye (i.e., OD, oculus dextrus); BCVA = Best Corrected Visual Acuity (high contrast letter stimuli), LCVA = Low Contrast Visual Acuity; "<" = worse than.
3 For the 4 participants with more than 6 months between interviews, age value in brackets gives the age at time of second interview. Table A S4 File provides acuity results on repeat test at time of second interview. None of the 4 participants' vision had degraded sufficiently to change them into a more severe vision loss category.
4 Participants P9 and P17 did not do the second interview due to ill health.
5 P17 did not have a vision assessment at the ANU and her visual acuity (BCVA only) was reported by her ophthalmologist. For correlations (Table 2) her BCVA value was entered as 6/60 or logMAR +1.0.
6 LCVA listed as <6/240 indicates the patient could not read all letters on the largest line of the LCVA chart.
