OR is adjusted for country, age group, skin colour and frequency of ocular damage due to intense UV exposure.
Reference subjects are all subjects with exposure below the given cut-off point.
↵* Statistically significant difference (p<0.05) in OR between dark-eyed and light-eyed subjects in each sex stratum.
