Monocular and binocular visual acuities were reduced for subjects in the experimental group compared to the control group (see Table 2). A common symptom reported by subjects in the experimental group was that the stationary chart held at 3 - 2 m and/or the numbers on the chart appeared to move and shift. This was not reported by any of the subjects in the control group.
