It will look for VA and for IOP columns and provide the summary stats for the entire cohort and for right and left eyes for each VA and IOP variable. Correspondence to Elsevier BV: 194205. All Snellen and ETDRS VA measurements were converted to logMAR units for direct comparison, and the variability between measurements was calculated. and it has internal reasons that make conversion easier. However, you need to be very careful in those cases if resulting data frame is plausible. If there still are variables spread over two columns for right and left eyes, then this is an example of messy data. If the argument smallstep = TRUE, the entries will be converted to logmar values (0.02 logmar for each optotype). To obtain numeric (for logMAR), or integer (for ETDRS). Any element which is implausible/ not recognized will be converted to NA. The authors declare that they have no conflict of interest. In 1982, the chart was renamed the ETDRS chart as it was recommended to be used in the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (note: the terms ETDRS chart and logMAR chart are not interchangeable logMAR is not a type of chart, but rather a term to describe visual acuity notation. <>
