Reading Acuity as a Predictor of Low-Vision Reading Performance [PDF]

Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci, 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 ...

Reading performance in Portuguese children from second to tenth grade with the MNREAD reading acuity test [PDF]

Journal of Optometry, 2023
To assess reading performance and report normative values for normal sighted Portuguese schoolchildren using the Portuguese version of the MNREAD reading acuity chart.Children in the 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th, and 10th grade in Portugal were recruited for this study. One hundred and sixty-seven children from 7 to 16 years of age participated.

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.

Impact of Simulated Astigmatism on Visual Acuity, Stereopsis, and Reading in Young Adults [PDF]

Vision (Switzerland)
This study investigated the functional visual impact of simulated astigmatic blur using cylindrical powers of 0.50 D, 1.00 D, and 2.00 D, applied in against-the-rule (ATR), with-the-rule (WTR), and oblique (OBL) axes, in adults aged 18 to 35 years with no known ocular disease.

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 ...

Assessment of newly designed fonts for visual accessibility. [PDF]

PLoS ONE
PurposeThe visual accessibility of fonts refers to the range of print sizes and efficiency with which readers can access text. One goal of font design may be to maximize accessibility for a wide range of users including those with low vision.

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 ...

Reading Acuity in Children: Evaluation and Reliability Using MNREAD Charts

Investigative Opthalmology & Visual Science, 2004
To study reading acuity in children and assess the reliability of its measurement using the Italian version of the MNREAD reading chart.One hundred sixteen children from grades 3 to 8 with normal near vision were tested at a pediatric eye care institution in northeastern Italy. Visual acuity was evaluated with Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study

Reading level, acuity, and speed evaluation among retinoblastoma survivors: A prospective case series

Rare Tumors
Pediatric retinoblastoma survivors exhibit visual deficits. How these visual deficits impact reading skills is unknown. The purpose of this study is to assess reading level, reading acuity, and reading speed among retinoblastoma survivors.
