“…Glaucoma often reduces quality of life (QOL) by making daily activities difficult, such as walking, driving, and reading [3–5]. There are two main methods to quantify reading in ophthalmic patients: questionnaires [6–12] and reading function tests. Questionnaires can assess a broad tendency towards reading difficulty in daily life.…”

ObjectiveTo investigate the relationship between silent reading performance and visual field defects in patients with glaucoma using an eye tracking system.MethodsFifty glaucoma patients (Group G; mean age, 52.2 years, standard deviation: 11.4 years) and 20 normal controls (Group N; mean age, 46.9 years; standard deviation: 17.2 years) were included in the study. All participants in Group G had early to advanced glaucomatous visual field defects but better than 20/20 visual acuity in both eyes. Participants silently read Japanese articles written horizontally while the eye tracking system monitored and calculated reading duration per 100 characters, number of fixations per 100 characters, and mean fixation duration, which were compared with mean deviation and visual field index values from Humphrey visual field testing (24–2 and 10–2 Swedish interactive threshold algorithm standard) of the right versus left eye and the better versus worse eye.ResultsThere was a statistically significant difference between Groups G and N in mean fixation duration (G, 233.4 msec; N, 215.7 msec; P = 0.010). Within Group G, significant correlations were observed between reading duration and 24–2 right mean deviation (rs = -0.280, P = 0.049), 24–2 right visual field index (rs = -0.306, P = 0.030), 24–2 worse visual field index (rs = -0.304, P = 0.032), and 10–2 worse mean deviation (rs = -0.326, P = 0.025). Significant correlations were observed between mean fixation duration and 10–2 left mean deviation (rs = -0.294, P = 0.045) and 10–2 worse mean deviation (rs = -0.306, P = 0.037), respectively.ConclusionsThe severity of visual field defects may influence some aspects of reading performance. At least concerning silent reading, the visual field of the worse eye is an essential element of smoothness of reading.

“…The participants who met these criteria were contacted by the researcher to schedule a home visit. To assess the inclusion criteria for reading habits and normal cognition, the researcher administered the Reading Behavior Inventory (RBI) (Goodrich et al, 2006) and the Short Portable Mental Status Questionnaire (SPMSQ) (Pfeiffer, 1975) during the home visit. The participants who met all inclusion criteria were administered the Short Test of Functional Health Literacy in Adults (S-TOFHLA) (Baker et al, 1999).…”

Background: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of vision loss for Americans 65 years of age and older. Central vision loss makes reading challenging. Health literacy assessments that measure skills in basic literacy are often too demanding for people with AMD. The impact of central vision loss on functional health literacy has yet to be explored in the literature. Methods: A between-subjects study design was employed to explore associations between functional health literacy and visual acuity in older adults with AMD. The Short Test of Functional Health Literacy in Adults (S-TOFHLA) was used to measure health literacy in participants across three severity categories (moderate, severe, profound) of visual impairment. Scores were recorded for timed (7 min) and untimed testing conditions for comparison. Results: For the timed condition, 73% of the participants had inadequate health literacy and 27% had marginal health literacy. For the untimed condition, 100% of the participants had adequate health literacy. The severe category had the lowest mean S-TOFHLA score for both time conditions. This finding was unanticipated considering the strong correlation between visual acuity and reading performance. Conclusion: All of the participants exhibited a drastic improvement in test scores when the time constraint was removed. Time may be an underrecognized factor of reading performance in older adults with AMD.

“…Participants were asked verbally about their reading patterns using Questions 1 and 3 from the Reading Behavior Inventory (Goodrich, Kirby, Wood, & Peters, 2006). The NEI-VFQ25 (Mangione et al, 2001) was administered using standard procedure, with the additional instruction "if you use a low vision device for an activity, please answer the questions as though you were using it."…”

Introduction In addition to optical devices, closed-circuit televisions (CCTVs) and eccentric viewing training are both recognized interventions to improve reading performance in individuals with vision loss secondary to age-related macular degeneration. Both are relatively expensive, however, either in the cost of the device or in the amount of time personnel need to provide training. In this randomized trial, we compared the effectiveness of these two interventions. Methods Participants with age-related macular degeneration and visual acuity between 6/48 (20/160) and 6/120 (20/400) first received basic low vision care, including optical devices. At the subsequent baseline visit, they undertook a battery of measures including logMAR visual acuity; reading speed and accuracy for text in 1.3M and 1M fonts; reading information on medicine bottles, utility bills, and food packages; the NEI-VFQ; the Geriatric Depression Scale; and a reading inventory questionnaire. They were then randomized to either obtaining a CCTV for home use or eccentric viewing training over the following six weeks. Results Recruitment was more difficult than expected for this population. Of 145 patients referred, 29 met the inclusion-exclusion criteria, 14 were willing to enroll, and 10 completed the trial. For the primary outcome (reading speed for 1.3M print), there was a significant improvement between baseline and outcome for the CCTV group (p = 0.005), but not for the eccentric viewing training group (p = 0.28), and the CCTV group showed significantly greater change (p = 0.04). There was a nonsignificant improvement in reading speed for 1M text and a decrease in the amount of time taken to read utility bill information in the CCTV group. There was a significant improvement in near visual acuity with current glasses with eccentric viewing training. The other measures did not reach statistical significance. Discussion Randomized clinical trials for low vision rehabilitation, particularly in the elderly population with vision loss, are challenging, but such trials are important for the allocation of resources. This trial showed early indications of more impact on reading performance from CCTV than eccentric viewing training.
