Ocular Dominance and Visual Function Testing

Table 3

Average monocular best corrected visual acuity values and standard deviation for every experimental viewing condition: distance, near, high contrast (100%) and low contrast (10%) for right (RE), left (LE), and both eyes (BE) and for each dominance type group (1 to 4). For value, the maximum and minimum for each eye and dominance type group were also represented. The values of VA are represented in LogMAR units, MSE in diopters, and age in years.
