Will find the eye column, unify the codes for the eyes (all to r and l) and pivot the columns wide, that have been specified in cols. In 1982, the chart was renamed the ETDRS chart as it was recommended to be used in the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (note: the terms ETDRS chart and logMAR chart are not interchangeable logMAR is not a type of chart, but rather a term to describe visual acuity notation. Therefore, transforming +/- notation to actual results is in itself problematic and the below suggestion to convert it will remain an approximation to the most likely true result. Mean Snellen VA was 0.40 logMAR (20/50 Snellen equivalent), and mean ETDRS measurement was 0.27 logMAR (20/40 Snellen equivalent).

Snellen visual acuity measurements were converted to approximate ETDRS (approxETDRS) letter scores for statistical manipulations and then converted back to Snellen equivalent fractions.
