Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Visual Acuity - Right Eyeat 14 daysThis outcome measures visual acuity in logMARs. logMAR is the logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR). The ideal is 0.0 and represents 20/20 Snellen acuity. logMar values \> 0.00 indicate vision poorer than the ideal and values \<0.00 indicate vision greater than the ideal.
Visual Acuity - Left Eyeat 14 daysThis outcome measures visual acuity in logMARs. logMAR is the logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR. The ideal is 0.0 and represents 20/20 Snellen acuity. logMar values \> 0.00 indicate vision poorer than the ideal and values \<0.00 indicate vision greater than the ideal.
