  1. * If more than one vision test was applied to the patient, the most recent data were used. Data of four patients were obtained by the ophthalmologist (measured with own correction). Data of one patient was obtained by another MRC (measured with the best possible correction). Data of 15 patients were obtained by the low vision specialist of the MRC (measured without correction; for 9 patients a better correction was not possible).
