Evaluating Visual Acuity in the American Academy of Ophthalmology IRIS® Registry.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To describe visual acuity data representation in the American Academy of Ophthalmology Intelligent Research in Sight (IRIS) Registry and present a data-cleaning strategy.

Design

Reliability and validity study.

Participants

Patients with visual acuity records from 2018 in the IRIS Registry.
