Graph description: Figure 1. Pupil diameters measured 3 times by each of 3 observers, first 9 patients from a study of 28.

There are nine panels, each showing a scatter plot for a patient, numbered 1 to 9, all on the same scale. Each panel shows Observer 1, 2, and 3 on the horizontal axis and pupil diameter in millimetres by the Colvard method on the vertical axis. There are three clusters of points.

For Patient 1, Observer 3 appears to give lower readings than other observers.

For Patient 2, all observers appear to give similar readings.

For Patient 3, Observer 1 appears to give higher readings than other observers.

For Patient 4, Observer 1 appears to give higher readings than other observers.

For Patient 5, all observers appear to give similar readings.

For Patient 6, Observer 1 appears to give lower readings than other observers.

For Patient 7, all readings are low, Observer 3 appears to give lower readings than other observers.

For Patient 8, all observers appear to give similar readings.

For Patient 9, Observer 3 appears to give lower readings than other observers.
