Demographics, medical history, mental status, and quality of life were obtained from face\u2010to\u2010face interviews, using standard structured questionnaire. Visual functions (i.e., binocular visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, and stereopsis) were assessed by different visual tests after refraction corrections.
