Reduced perceptual span is one factor which limits reading speed in patients with macular
disease. This study measured the perceptual span and the number of saccades to locate a …

Purpose.: Reading speed of patients with central field loss (CFL) correlates with the size of
saccades (measured in letters per forward saccade [L/FS]). We assessed whether this effect …

PURPOSE: Visual-span profiles are plots of letter-recognition accuracy as a function of letter
position left and right of the point of fixation. Legge, Mansfield, and Chung [Legge, GE …

AMD patients often have particular difficulty reading, even when the text is magnified to
compensate for reduced visual acuity. This study explores whether reading performance can …

The relationship between reading rate and saccadic frequency in patients with macular
degeneration was studied to determine if this simple measure of eye movements would be …

Purpose To investigate the relationship between reading speed and eye movements in
patients with advanced glaucomatous visual field (VF) defects and age-similar visually …

PURPOSE: People with macular degeneration (MD) often read slowly even with adequate
magnification to compensate for acuity loss. Oculomotor deficits may affect reading in MD …

purpose. Previous studies suggest that optimal reading speed is unaffected by cataract, yet
is significantly reduced in age-related macular degeneration (ARMD). This raises the …

purpose. To determine whether training oculomotor control, without direct practice in reading
sentences, could increase reading speed in patients with age-related macular degeneration …

We assessed saccadic eye movements and reading capabilities in individuals with macular
disease by a masked clinical study to determine whether changes in saccadic frequency …
