Age factor affects reading acuity and reading speed in attaining text information [PDF]
International Journal of Ophthalmology, 2019 AIM: To investigate the effect of age on reading acuity and reading speed in attaining text information in healthy eyes. METHODS: Reading acuity, critical print size, reading speed and maximum reading speed were measured in groups of 40 children (8 to ...

Are individual differences in reading speed related to extrafoveal visual acuity and crowding? [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Readers differ considerably in their speed of self-paced reading. One factor known to influence fixation durations in reading is the preprocessing of words in parafoveal vision.

Simulation of Thalamic Prosthetic Vision: Reading Accuracy, Speed and Acuity in Sighted Humans [PDF]
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2014 The psychophysics of reading with artificial sight has received increasing attention as visual prostheses are becoming a real possibility to restore useful function to the blind through the coarse, pseudo-pixelized vision they generate.

Acuity, crowding, reading and fixation stability
Vision Research, 2007 People with age-related macular disease frequently experience reading difficulty that could be attributed to poor acuity, elevated crowding or unstable fixation associated with peripheral visual field dependence. We examine how the size, location, spacing and instability of retinal images affect the visibility of letters and words at different ...

Reading Acuity as a Predictor of Low-Vision Reading Performance
Investigative Opthalmology & Visual Science, 2018 Most people with low vision experience difficulty with reading. Reading assessment can provide guidance for prescription of reading aids and strategies for reading rehabilitation. Here we investigate the effectiveness of letter acuity (LA) and reading acuity (RA) as predictors of low-vision reading performance.Low-vision subjects (n = 58), young ...

Silent Reading as Determined by Age and Visual Acuity
Journal of Research in Reading, 1997 In this study silent reading by adults ranging in age from 35 to 90 years was investigated. The texts to be read were printed in black on white paper with character sizes varying from 1–9 mm x‐height (visual angle 0.19° to 1.67°). In order to separate age effects from visual‐acuity effects, subjects with different levels of visual acuity (0.1–2.5 ...

Comparison of near visual acuity and reading metrics in presbyopia correction [PDF]
Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, 2009 To provide a consistent standard for the evaluation of different types of presbyopic correction.Eye Clinic, School of Life and Health Sciences, Aston University, Birmingham, United Kingdom.Presbyopic corrections examined were accommodating intraocular lenses (IOLs), simultaneous multifocal and monovision contact lenses, and varifocal spectacles ...
