one line difference on Snellen Chart Explanation: I think there are some grammatical errors in the sentence you have provided, but I'm pretty sure they mean that the patient "tested" a one line difference in vision (for better or for worse). I think you mean "uncorrected acuity," but this means "without vision correction" ie. glasses, contacts. These days, this is usually used in the context of laser eye surgery. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 28 mins (2005-06-22 03:47:34 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Sorry, I meant \"at most, a one line difference.\" |

My interpretation: Explanation: This means that although some patients had to come back for replacement/repositioning, their vision had not been affected that much. Their vision was still within 1 line of the preoperative BASCV recorded during their last visit. In other words, the replacement/repositioning did not involve anything major, only minor adjustments. Their vision at the time of replacement/repositioning was still within 1 line of the value recorded during their last visit. Another way of putting it is this. Even those patients who came for replacement/repositioning could still read almost up to the line on the eye chart which they were able to during their last visit. The difference if any was only that of one line at the most. 1 line means one line one the eye chart as Can Altinby can explained in another of your question. |
