  • *LogMAR value (visual acuity logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution) is the magnification requirement; the higher the logMAR value, the worse the visual acuity (<1.0: mild to moderate visual impairment, 1.0–1.3: sight impaired (partial sighted), >1.3: severely sight impaired (blind).40–42

  • BMI, body mass index; DM, diabetes mellitus; HbA1c, glycated haemoglobin; OA, optic atrophy; WFS, Wolfram syndrome.
