What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Visual Acuity

    Uncorrected Visual Acuity (VA) is measured in logMAR. LogMAR is the "logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution". A lower logMAR value indicates better visual acuity.

    Time frame: 6 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. Contrast Sensitivity

    Contrast sensitivity is the measurement of one's ability to detect slight changes in luminance before it becomes indistinguishable. It is measured in logarithmic (log) units by means of an illuminated box, the CSV 1000 by Vector Vision. A higher value for the logarithmic units translates to better contrast sensitivity.

    Time frame: 6 Months

  2. Patient Satisfaction

    Average rating of patient satisfaction based on a patient survey. The survey had a 10 point scale (10 being most satisfied and 0 being most unsatisfied).

    Time frame: 6 Months Postoperative

  3. Spectacle Independence

    The percentage of patients reporting spectacle independence (no longer needing to wear glasses).

    Time frame: 6 Months
