Bilateral group had greater difficulty with near and distance activities, vision\u2010specific role difficulties, vision\u2010specific dependency and general health than the unilateral group. There were no significant differences with regard to ocular pain, vision\u2010specific social functioning, vision\u2010specific mental health, driving, colour vision, peripheral vision or educational attainment between the groups.
