Limitations and notes

The abstract reports ranges for cumulative acuity and accuracy across visits; only visit-specific mean spherical refraction was structured.

Missing fields are not interpreted as negative findings. Arm counts may not be additive in all study designs.

Study evidence level
A simple, non-GRADE hierarchy based on design: randomized and large regulatory trials are high; prospective cohorts moderate; retrospective observational studies low. Manual review can override this label.
