Distance visual acuity (VA) was evaluated with a distance chart designed for patients with low vision. Near vision and reading performance were evaluated with the Turkish version of the MNREAD charts. Unaided vision and vision with LVA devices and high spherical add near glasses was measured.\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt;0.05 was considered statistically significant.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>RESULTS:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The mean unaided near VA was 1.05 \u00b1 0.27 log of the minimum angle of resolution (LogMAR). The mean VA with the LVA devices was 0.71 \u00b1 0.41 LogMAR. Reading acuity ranged between 1.15 and 0.21 LogMAR, critical print size was between \u2212 1.2 and 0.2 LogMAR. Maximum reading speeds were between 0 and 103 words\/min. The cases are divided into groups in terms of reading speed according to age, gender, diagnosis, and education. Reading speed was negatively correlated to increasing age.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>CONCLUSION:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>MNREAD reading charts can be used to evaluate reading performance in patients with AMD with low vision. The outcomes of the present study indicate that optical correction is adequate for near VA requirements in this patient population. However, optical correction was inadequate for improving reading performance. Appropriate rehabilitation programs can be used to increase reading speed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/0974-9233.194078","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,1,24]],"date-time":"2017-01-24T08:24:11Z","timestamp":1485246251000},"page":"302-306","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["The Evaluation of Reading Performance with Minnesota Low Vision Reading Charts in Patients with Age-related Macular Degeneration"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Deniz","family":"Altinbay","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Niv Eye Center, Seyhan, Adana, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fatih Mehmet","family":"Adibelli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Niv Eye Center, Seyhan, Adana, Turkey"},{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, School of Medicine, Harran University, Sanliurfa, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ibrahim","family":"Taskin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Niv Eye Center, Seyhan, Adana, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Adil","family":"Tekin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Niv Eye Center, Seyhan, Adana, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R1-20250523","first-page":"232","article-title":"A new reading acuity chart for normal and low vision","volume":"3","author":"Mansfield","year":"1993","journal-title":"Ophthalmic Visual Optics\/Noninvasive assesment of the Visual System Technical Digest"},{"key":"R2-20250523","first-page":"84","article-title":"The development and validation of MNREAD acuity charts in Turkish","volume":"39","author":"\u0130dil","year":"2009","journal-title":"Turk J Ophthalmol"},{"key":"R3-20250523","first-page":"287","article-title":"Evaluating the value of low-vision services","volume":"68","author":"Raasch","year":"1997","journal-title":"J Am Optom Assoc"},{"key":"R4-20250523","first-page":"2566","article-title":"Demographic characteristics of the vision-disabled elderly","volume":"38","author":"Elliott","year":"1997","journal-title":"Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci"},{"key":"R6-20250523","first-page":"404","article-title":"A new Turkish reading chart which covers international standarts","volume":"34","author":"E\u00f0rilmez","year":"2004","journal-title":"Turk J Ophthalmol"},{"key":"R7-20250523","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"777","DOI":"10.1590\/S0004-27492005000600013","article-title":"Development and validation of the MNREAD reading acuity chart in Portuguese","volume":"68","author":"Castro","year":"2005","journal-title":"Arq Bras Oftalmol"},{"key":"R8-20250523","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"253","DOI":"10.4263\/jorthoptic.28.253","article-title":"The prescription of reading aids with the MNREAD-J reading acuity chart for low vision patients with AMD","volume":"28","author":"Nakamura","year":"2000","journal-title":"Jpn Orthopt"},{"key":"R9-20250523","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"25","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1444-0938.2012.00799.x","article-title":"Development and validation of the Greek version of the MNREAD acuity chart","volume":"96","author":"Mataftsi","year":"2013","journal-title":"Clin Exp Optom"},{"key":"R10-20250523","first-page":"567","article-title":"Fixation characteristics in macular disease.
