For this study, the authors assessed data from 12 prospective clinical trials conducted at a large urban retina practice in the United States. 1997;13:38891. When VA was assessed by subgroups, eyes with worse vision had a greater difference between Snellen and ETDRS scores: Eyes 20/25 or better were a mean +1.9 letters better on ETDRS testing, and eyes 20/160 or worse were a mean +12.6 letters better on ETDRS testing (p < .05 for both). If the argument smallstep = TRUE, the entries will be converted to logmar values (0.02 logmar for each optotype). the best experience, we recommend you use a more up to date browser (or turn off compatibility mode in Column C: letters gained (+) or missed (), ENTER INTO FORMULA BAR FOR CELL:=ROUND(LOG(B2/A2),2)(C2*0.02). entries equivalent to 0.02 logmar. The findings suggest that caution must be taken when comparing clinical trial VA results with routine clinical outcomes.
