Abstract：
:Patients with central vision loss are often advised by low vision rehabilitation professionals to read bolder print to ameliorate their reading difficulties. Is boldface print really effective in improving reading performance for people with central vision loss? In this study, we evaluated how reading speed depends on the stroke-width of text in people with central vision loss. Ten participants with long-standing central vision loss read aloud single, short sentences presented on a computer monitor, one word at a time, using rapid serial visual presentation (RSVP). Reading speed was calculated based on the RSVP word exposure duration that yielded 80% of words read correctly. Text was rendered in Courier and at six boldness levels, defined as the width of the letter-strokes normalized to that of the standard Courier font: 0.27, 0.72, 1, 1.48, 1.89 and 3.04× the standard. Reading speed was measured for two print sizes - 0.8× and 1.4× the critical print size (the smallest print size that can be read at the maximum reading speed). For all participants and both print sizes, reading speeds were essentially the same for text with stroke-width boldness ranging from 0.72 to 1.89× the standard, and were significantly lower for the thinnest and the boldest print. Most importantly, reading speed was not higher for bolder print than for the standard one. Despite the clinical wisdom that patients with central vision loss might benefit from bolder print, print with stroke-widths larger than the standard does not significantly improve reading speed for participants with central vision loss.
