Evaluation of pre- and post-surgery reading ability in patients with epiretinal membrane: a prospective observational study

open access: yesBMC Ophthalmology, 2020
Background This study aimed to investigate the pre- and post-surgery reading ability in patients with idiopathic epiretinal membrane (ERM) to evaluate whether measurement of reading performance is a helpful test in addition to visual acuity (VA) as an ...

Full gaze contingency provides better reading performance than head steering alone in a simulation of prosthetic vision

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
The visual pathway is retinotopically organized and sensitive to gaze position, leading us to hypothesize that subjects using visual prostheses incorporating eye position would perform better on perceptual tasks than with devices that are merely head ...

Impact of the Ability to Divide Attention on Reading Performance in Glaucoma [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
PURPOSE: To determine if the ability to divide attention affects the relationship between glaucoma-related vision loss and reading speed. METHODS: Better eye mean deviation (MD), contrast sensitivity (CS), and better-eye distance visual acuity (VA) were ...

Reading with central vision loss: binocular summation and inhibition

open access: yesOphthalmic and Physiological Optics, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 778-789, November 2020., 2020
Abstract Purpose There are conflicting reports as to whether there is a binocular advantage or disadvantage when reading with central vision loss. This study examined binocular reading summation in patients with macular degeneration. Methods Seventy‐one patients with bilateral central vision loss [mean age: 63 (S.D. = 21) years] participated.

Tablet computers versus optical aids to support education and learning in children and young people with low vision: protocol for a pilot randomised controlled trial, CREATE (Children Reading with Electronic Assistance To Educate) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
INTRODUCTION: Low vision and blindness adversely affect education and independence of children and young people. New 'assistive' technologies such as tablet computers can display text in enlarged font, read text out to the user, allow speech input and ...
