To elucidate how patients with macular scotomas use residual functional retina for
inspecting visual detail and reading, we tested three patients with dense macular scotomas …

To investigate how patients with macular scotomas use residual functional retinal areas to
inspect visual detail, a scanning laser ophthalmoscope (SLO) was used to map the retinal …

Among the patients we tested, most of those who had lost normal macular function
developed extrafoveal retinal loci which resulted in strongly preferred viewing angles for …

Twenty patients with age-related macular degeneration, an absolute central scotoma and a
mean visual acuity of 0.04 (20/475) were studied. A scanning laser ophthalmoscope (SLO) …

To investigate the use of several preferred retinal loci (PRL) when attempting to read, two
patients with bilateral central scotomas were asked to decipher single words, successively …

Patients referred for low vision rehabilitation had MNREAD Acuity (MNRead), visual acuity
(VA), and scanning laser ophthalmoscope (SLO) macular function testing performed in their …

The retinal location of preferential fixations of twenty-four patients with central scotoma were
studied when reading digits projected onto their retina with a scanning laser …

AIMS To investigate the reading strategy of a patient with central scotoma, using several
preferred retinal loci (PRL). METHODS A 47 year old man with Stargardt's disease was …

The reading strategies in individuals with central scotomas and more than one preferred
retinal locus (PRL) were investigated using a scanning laser ophthalmoscope in order to …

Many patients with macular scotomas due to age-related macular degeneration do not
perceive black spots in the visual field where the scotomas are located. Rather, they …
