  • The role of specific eye movement patterns in low vision reading requires further investigation.
  • The impact of central visual field defects (scotomas) on reading performance is a key area of study.

    • Conclusions:

    • Further research is needed to fully elucidate the complex visual factors affecting low vision reading.
    • Improved understanding can lead to more targeted and effective clinical interventions for low vision patients.
    • Addressing these visual challenges can significantly enhance the reading ability and quality of life for individuals with low vision.
