Medical - Medical (general) / Ophthalmology
Danish term or phrase: sten.hul
Anyone ever heard of this abbreviated term? This is in an ophthalmological report for a person with vision impairment. The line says what the person's visual acuity is, and then it says "ingen forbedring med sten.hul"

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
