To investigate whether the clinical tests used in routine eye examinations can identify adults whose reading rate increases with their preferred coloured overlay(s).
Routine optometric tests were used to measure 73 undergraduate students' refractive error, visual acuity, stereo-acuity, amplitude of accommodation, near point of convergence, associated heterophoria at near, colour vision and ocular motility. Participants chose an overlay or combination of overlays with colour optimal for clarity, and completed the Wilkins Rate of Reading Test with and without an overlay(s) of this colour.
Overall, there was a significant increase in reading speed with overlay (t(72)=-5.26, p<0.0005). Twenty-six participants (36%) increased their reading rate by >5% with their chosen coloured overlay(s). Ten participants (14%) had a reading speed increase of >10%. The increase in reading speed was not significantly associated with any clinical finding.
Tests which are completed in routine eye examinations did not identify those participants who benefitted from coloured overlays in terms of reading speed.
探讨常规眼科检查中所使用的临床测试能否识别出阅读速度会因偏好的彩色覆盖物而提高的成年人。
采用常规验光测试来测量73名本科生的屈光不正、视力、立体视锐度、调节幅度、近点集合、近距相关隐斜视、色觉和眼球运动。参与者选择对清晰度而言颜色最佳的一种覆盖物或覆盖物组合,并在有和没有这种颜色覆盖物的情况下完成威尔金斯阅读速度测试。
总体而言,使用覆盖物时阅读速度有显著提高(t(72)= -5.26,p<0.0005)。26名参与者(36%)使用所选的彩色覆盖物后阅读速度提高超过5%。10名参与者(14%)的阅读速度提高超过10%。阅读速度的提高与任何临床检查结果均无显著关联。
常规眼科检查中完成的测试未能识别出那些在阅读速度方面受益于彩色覆盖物的参与者。
