Evaluation of reading quality in three different patient groups (Extended Range Of Vision vs minimonovision vs single focus distance vision)

Reading is a complex process. It requires a good retinal image. Reading speed slows down when the understanding is difficult, which is why reading one’s mother tongue generally is faster than reading a foreign language. Reading skill is therefore influenced by visuo-motor and cognitive (i.e. linguistic, personality, learning, ageing) factors. The aim of the study is to assess the influence of different ophthalmic conditions after cataract surgery (extended range of vision IOL (EROV) with micromonovision, minimonovision with standard IOL and single focus distance vision with standard IOL) on reading quality. Assessed with using a high-speed eyetracking device. This study is done in cooperation with the university of Crete.
