VADC at 0 D: Visual acuity obtained from the 0 D defocus of the defocus curve; ETDRS chart: Visual acuity measured with the ETDRS chart; CSDC at 0 D: Contrast sensitivity obtained from the 0 D defocus of the defocus curve; CSF test: Contrast sensitivity function measured for frequencies of 3 cfnd (a), 6 cfnd (b), 12 cfnd, (c) and 18 cfnd (d).
SD: Standard deviation of the mean; 95% CI: Confidence interval at 95%.
0: Significantly different from 0, both methods differ at least by a constant amount.
1: Significantly different from 1, both methods differ at least by a fnrofnortional difference.
