Table 6 Mean scores for MacDQoL variables and vision measures. For distance VA and near VA, larger numbers indicate poorer vision. For contrast sensitivity, larger numbers indicate greater sensitivity. Larger numbers indicate poorer colour recognition and comfortable VA. For the glare test, larger numbers indicate a longer recovery time.
