Reading Performance in Older Adults with Good Acuity

Optometry and Vision Science, 2001
ABSTRACT: Purpose. This study evaluated factors affecting reading performance in a sample (N = 544) of older adults (mean age 72.8 years, range 58 to 102) with good high‐contrast acuity (≥20/32). Methods.

Reading acuity in albinism: Evaluation with MNREAD charts

Journal of American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus, 2011
The MNREAD reading acuity (RA) charts use continuous-text reading to measure (1) RA, ie, the smallest size of print that the patient can resolve; (2) maximum reading speed (MRS); and (3) critical print size (CPS), ie, the smallest print that the patient can read with maximum speed.

Improvement in Rapid Reading as Related to Visual Acuity and Initial Reading Speed

The Journal of Educational Research, 1968
College freshmen enrolled in a rapid reading course were assigned to one of two groups on the basis of visual acuity. These groups were further divided on the basis of their pretest reading speed. Reading speed and compre hension measures were taken before, after, and periodically throughout the course.

Visual Acuity Decrease at Various Illuminations and Role of Reading

Archives of Ophthalmology, 1956
This research was prompted by the lack of quantitative and statistically significant evidence of deterioration of visual acuity in the course of prolonged visual work, despite subjective reports of tiredness. Earlier experimental efforts to produce such evidence were fruitless.* In a previous study 5 it was shown that the course of visual fatigue can ...

On the Relationship between Letter Acuity and Reading Acuity

1994
Despite the elemental relationship of letters to written words, letter acuity is well-known to be a poor predictor of several indices of reading performance. This is why direct measurement of reading acuity is necessary in prescription of effective reading aids in low vision rehabilitation.

A New Reading-Acuity Chart for Normal and Low Vision

Noninvasive Assessment of the Visual System, 1993
Functional measures of visual ability can be of great value in the treatment and care of patients with low vision, or in prescribing optical corrections for patients with normal vision. One such measure is reading ability. We have designed a new reading-acuity chart that is suited for testing observers with normal and low vision.

English sentence optotypes for measuring reading acuity and speed—the English version of the Radner Reading Charts

Graefe's Archive for Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology, 2014
To develop 28 short sentence optotypes for the English version of the Radner Reading Charts that are as comparable as possible in number and length of words, as well as in difficulty and syntactical construction.Thirty-four English sentences were constructed following the method used for other Radner Reading Charts to obtain "sentence optotypes" with ...
