data("amd2")A data frame (tibble) with 40764 rows and 7 variables:
Anonymized patient identifier
Sex of patient (m = male, f = female)

There are two missing visual acuity entries in this data set. They result from data entry errors (ETDRS values above 100) in the original medical health records. Unfortunately, the correct VA value could not be retrieved and it was decided to assign missing values to those measurements.
The data was collected in Moorfields Eye Hospital, London, UK. (Information governance sign off Moorfields Eye Hospital 19/07/2018)
