About this trial

Reading performance in patients with Central Vision Loss and age matched controls with artificial scotomas will be measured with and without different kinds of remapping of missing text to different parts of the visual field.

No cognitive impairment as indicated by a Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE).

Disqualifiers

Central vision loss of less than 5 deg diameter; scotomas that do not cover the fovea; unilateral scotomas

Poor fixation (worse than+/- 1 deg) using their PRL.

Cognitive impairment as indicated by a Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE).

Satisfactory calibration not achievable using eye tracker
