    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Optometry
    • Vision Science

    Background:

    • Accurate assessment of near visual acuity is crucial for diagnosing and managing various eye conditions.
    • Standardized reading materials are essential for consistent and reliable vision testing.
    • Existing Arabic reading tests may not meet current clinical or research standards.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To propose novel Arabic reading types specifically designed for testing near visual acuity.
    • To adapt and validate existing international standards for Arabic-speaking populations.
    • To provide a much-needed resource for ophthalmologists and researchers working with Arabic text.

    Main Methods:

    • Review and analysis of established reading types used internationally, such as those from the United Kingdom's Faculty of Ophthalmologists.

  • Development of new Arabic word and sentence lists targeting different levels of visual acuity.
  • Consideration of linguistic and cultural relevance for Arabic readers.

    • Main Results:

    • A set of proposed Arabic reading types for near visual acuity testing has been developed.
    • These types are based on principles proven effective in other languages and regions.
    • The proposed tests aim to enhance the accuracy and standardization of vision assessments in Arabic.

    Conclusions:

    • The suggested Arabic reading types offer a valuable tool for improving near visual acuity testing.
    • Adoption of these standardized tests can lead to more consistent clinical evaluations and research outcomes.
    • This initiative addresses a significant gap in vision testing resources for the Arabic-speaking community.
