Multivariable logistic regression analysis adjusted for age, sex, the presence of diabetes mellitus, the proportion of alcohol drinkers, worse eye BCVA, and distance driven per week (controls used as reference).
MVC: motor vehicle collision, BCVA: best corrected visual acuity, MD: mean deviation, IVF: integrated visual field, OR: odds ratio, and CI: confidence interval.
Only 6 subjects with severe glaucoma were categorized by IVF MD; these 6 were analysed with the moderate glaucoma group (logistic regression results did not differ when these two groups were analysed separately).
