- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Overall monocular binocular distance timed visual acuity measured using computerised test charts. The visual acuity is measured in logMAR at 4 m and 40 cm at the time of data collection.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <br> Measured at a single timepoint:<br> 1. Monocular and binocular distance timed controlled visual acuity for the individual lighting and contrast conditions measured using computerised test charts. The visual acuity is measured in logMAR.<br> 2. Near binocular visual acuity under different contrast conditons. The visual acuity is measur3ed in logMAR.<br> 3. Visual satisfaction on 0 - 100 point visual analog scale.<br>
