Abstract
Being unable to read is a major problem for visually impaired patients. Since distance visual acuity (VA) does not adequately reflect reading ability, it is important to also evaluate near VA. The Radner Reading Charts (RRCs) are available to measure patients' reading performance. The present study...

Abstract
We conducted a retrospective study of 681 low vision patients who visited two low vision clinics in Seoul from 1995 to 2008. Age and sex distribution, cause of low vision, type of prescribed low vision aids, and changes of the characteristics were reviewed. In result, male were more than female. The...

Abstract
Although standard scores and Rasch scores are highly correlated, Rasch analysis has the advantages of eliminating floor and ceiling effects and producing interval-scaled data. The Massof algorithm for approximation of the Rasch person measure performed well in this group of low-vision patients. The...

Abstract
This preliminary study found that a brief training program is effective in increasing practitioners' ability to respond to depression in patients with vision impairment. Further work is required to determine whether these effects are sustained over time and result in improved recognition and managem...

Abstract
Several NEI VFQ subscales were not psychometrically sound; as an overall measure, it is flawed by multidimensionality. This was repaired by segregation into visual functioning and socioemotional scales. Valid long and short forms of the scales could enhance application of the questionnaire.

Abstract
Patients with visual field defects showed considerable reductions in vision- and health-related quality of life compared to healthy control persons. These were mainly influenced by variables of visual functioning such as size of intact visual field, reaction times or visual acuity. The size of the i...

Visual Neuroscience (26)5-6 2009
Abstract
We conclude that the ability of the ocular motor system to fixate is flexible in patients with central vision loss: a new PRL can be trained, fixation stability can be improved, and learning transfers to an untrained location. These gains in ocular motor control result in better visual performance....
