Adequate near and intermediate visual capacity is important in performing everyday tasks, especially after the introduction of smartphones and computers in our professional and recreational activities. Primary objective of this study was to review all available reading tests both conventional and digital and explore their integrated characteristics. A systematic review of the recent literature regarding reading charts was performed based on the PubMed, Google Scholar, and Springer databases between February and March 2021. Data from 11 descriptive and 24 comparative studies were included in the present systematic review. Clinical settings are still dominated by conventional printed reading charts; however, the most prevalent of them (, Jaeger type charts) are not validated. Reliable reading capacity assessment is done only by those that comply with the International Council of Ophthalmology (ICO) recommendations. Digital reading tests are gaining popularity both in clinical and research settings and are differentiated in standard computer-based applications that require installation either in a computer or a tablet (, Advanced VISION Test and web-based ones , Democritus Digital Acuity Reading Test requires no installation). It is evident that validated digital tests will prevail in future clinical or research settings and it is upon ophthalmologists to select the one most compatible with their examination routine.
具备足够的近视力和中视力对于完成日常任务很重要，尤其是在我们的职业和娱乐活动中引入智能手机和计算机之后。本研究的主要目的是回顾所有可用的阅读测试，包括传统测试和数字测试，并探讨它们的综合特征。基于PubMed、谷歌学术和施普林格数据库，于2021年2月至3月对近期有关阅读图表的文献进行了系统综述。本系统综述纳入了11项描述性研究和24项比较性研究的数据。临床环境仍然以传统的印刷阅读图表为主；然而，其中最常见的（如耶格图表）并未经过验证。只有符合国际眼科理事会（ICO）建议的测试才能进行可靠的阅读能力评估。数字阅读测试在临床和研究环境中越来越受欢迎，并且分为需要安装在计算机或平板电脑上的标准基于计算机的应用程序（如Advanced VISION Test）和基于网络的应用程序（如Democritus Digital Acuity Reading Test无需安装）。显然，经过验证的数字测试将在未来的临床或研究环境中占主导地位，眼科医生需要选择最符合其检查常规的测试。
