Stratified Visual Acuity Outcomes by Age Group and Sex Before and After Surgery. Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) measured in LogMAR for males (blue and dark green bars for pre-operative and post-operative, respectively) and females (red and light green bars for pre-operative and post-operative, respectively) across different age groups. Additionally, the lines indicate the percentage of visual acuity improvement post-surgery for each sex (male in blue, female in red). The left vertical axis corresponds to BCVA values, with lower scores indicating better visual acuity, while the right vertical axis represents the improvement percentage. Error bars indicate the standard deviation (SD) within each age group, providing a measure of variability around the mean BCVA scores. Statistically significant differences, post Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons, between consecutive age groups are noted with p-values, showing how surgical outcomes and recovery rates vary with age and between sexes. 'M' denotes males, 'F' denotes females, and ‘VA’ stands for Visual Acuity.
