Ocular Dominance and Visual Function Testing

Table 1

Differences and standard deviation of spherical equivalent refraction (MSE) and monocular (right minus left) best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) measurements (LogMAR units) for distance (BCDVA) and for near conditions (BCNVA) under high (100%) and low (10%) contrast within each dominance type group. Bold represents statistically significant differences. Negative values represent better VA for the right eye.
