Ocular Dominance and Visual Function Testing

Table 4

Difference in patient’s age, mean spherical equivalent (MSE), and monocular and binocular (both eyes, BE) best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) at high (100%) and low contrast (10%) for distance vision (BCDVA) and near vision (BCNVA) between dominance types. Bold represents statistically significant differences. Italic column (1-4) highlights true comparison between right (type 1: RE/RE) and left (type 4: LE/LE) dominance type. The negative sign represents better VA for the first dominance type in the comparison.
