  1. Note ļ¼ŠVA was evaluated in all patients using the Snellenā€™s original test with conversions to decimal and logMAR scales for statistical analyses. Lower VAs were calculated as follows: counting fingers, 1/100 (logMAR 2); hand motions, 1/200 (logMAR 2.3); light perception, 1/666 (logMAR 2.8), and no light perception, 0 (logMAR 3)
