Purpose In this experiment, we tested whether perceptually delineating the scotoma location
and border with a gaze contingent polygon overlay improves reading speed and reading …

Different visual factors like character size, contrast or font have been reported in the clinical
litterature to affect reading speed for subjects with macular scotomas. In this study, using a …

In low vision rehabilitation, patients with central vision loss are taught to use their peripheral
vision to perform tasks once done by the fovea (eg reading). Patients are taught eccentric …

Although many individuals with a central scotoma develop eccentric fixation most often
beneath or left of the scotoma, little is known about how they come to develop a particular …

Age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) is the leading cause of visual impairment in
adults 65 years of age and older. ARMD often results in scotomas affecting the fovea …

In this study we test the benefit on the reading performance of different ways to relocating the
visual information present under the scotoma. The relocation (or unmasking) allows to …

This study investigated the relationship between reading speed and oculo-motor parameters
when normally sighted observers had to read single sentences with an artificial macular …

Horizontally scrolling text is, in theory, ideally suited to enhance viewing strategies
recommended to improve reading performance under conditions of central vision loss such …

Purpose: Although foveal vision provides fine spatial information, parafoveal and peripheral
vision are also known to be important for efficient reading behaviors. Here we systematically …

Purpose.: It has been suggested that crowding, the adverse low-level effect due to the
proximity of adjacent stimuli, explains slow reading in low-vision patients with absolute …
