Vision was presented as log MAR; Log MAR = logarithm of the minimal angle of resolution.; Group 1 (N = 16 eyes): no proteases were taken (placebo group); Group 2 (N = 16 eyes): all patients took 1 capsule with mixed proteases, including 190 mg bromelain, 95 mg papain, and 95 mg ficin daily; Group 3 (N = 16 eyes): all patients took 2 capsules daily; Group 4 (N = 16 eyes): all patients took 3 capsules daily. p < 0.05 was denoted as symbol * by the Scheffe test; p < 0.05 was denoted as symbol # by the Williams’ test.
