The scores are converted to a range of 0 to 100 (by multiplying by 25).
average score for each eye =
= (SUM(points for all 10 symptoms))/ 10
average score for both eyes
= ((score for left eye) + (score for right eye)) / 2
Interpretation:
• minimum average score: 0
• maximum average score: 100
• The higher the score, the less the person is bothered by glaucoma-related symptoms.
