Late age-related maculopathy (ARM) is responsible for the majority of blind registrations in
the Western world among persons over 50 years of age. It has devastating effects on quality …

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: To determine and explain gaze changes during binocular versus monocular
viewing in patients with age-related macular degeneration (AMD). DESIGN: Cross-sectional …

Sixty readers were evaluated for visual function and text-navigation ability. The visual field
and preferred retinal locus (PRL) were measured with a scanning laser ophthalmoscope …

purpose. Experiments were conducted on five subjects with no visual impairment to assess
tracking strategy differences in subjects with and without a simulated central scotoma …

Background: The fixation stability of patients with macular atrophy is generally worse than
that of people without pathology. Methods: The effects of 2 types of high-contrast fixation …

Background Reading with a central scotoma involves the use of preferred retinal loci (PRLs)
that enable both letter resolution and global viewing of word. Spontaneously developed …

purpose. To quantify the extent of visual function losses in patients with North Carolina
Macular Dystrophy (NCMD) and to demonstrate the importance of accounting for eccentric …

Purpose. Yoked prism spectacles (eccentric viewing spectacles [EVS]) facilitate eccentric
viewing in patients with bilateral central scotomas. This study was conducted to evaluate the …

Background Understanding limitations on text reading with eccentric fixation is of major
concern in low vision research. Our objective was to determine, in patients with a central …
