| Abstract | BACKGROUND: Reading performance in glaucoma patients has yet to be studied. We hypothesized that glaucomatous visual field loss affects reading performance even in patients with good acuity and evaluated their reading performance quantitatively. METHODS: A cross-sectional, comparative, non-interventional study. Forty-nine patients with early-moderate glaucomatous visual field loss OU with visual acuity better than 1.0 in the better and 0.7 in the worse eye. Reading performance in glaucoma patients was examined by the Japanese version of the Minnesota Reading Acuity Chart (MNREAD) were compared to that of age-matched normal subjects (n = 30). RESULTS: The study subjects consisted of the 21 men and 28 women. The mean age was 53.3 ± 12.6 years. Diagnosis included primary open-angle glaucoma (n = 22), normal-tension glaucoma (n = 22), developmental glaucoma (n = 4) and exfoliation glaucoma (n = 1). Reading parameters of glaucoma patients examined by MNREAD were: maximum reading speed (MRS), 329.9 ± 55.4 characters per min.; critical print size (CPS), 0.24 ± 0.14 logMAR; reading acuity (RA), 0.02 ± 0.12 log MAR, significantly lower than those of normal subjects (MRS 363.0 ± 42.9, CPS 0.09 ± 0.13 logMAR, RA -0.13 ± 0.10 logMAR, P < 0.01 for three parameters by unpaired t test). CPS in glaucoma subjects was negatively correlated with mean deviation of Humphrey Field Analyzer 10-2 and 30-2 programs in the better eye (r = -0.402, P < 0.005; r = -0.304, P < 0.05; respectively, by linear regression analysis). CONCLUSIONS: The reading performance deteriorated even in glaucoma patients with good acuity. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
