Relative-size Magnification versus Relative-distance Magnification: Effect on the Reading Performance of Adults with Normal and Low Vision.
Lovie-Kitchen, Jan; Whittaker, Steve
Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, v92 n7 p433-46 Jul 1998
This Australian study compared effects of relative-size magnification and relative-distance magnification on the reading rates of 24 adults with normal vision and 22 adults with low vision. For the subjects with low vision, the magnification method did not affect their reading rates, although subjects with normal vision showed slower reading at close distances (relative-distance magnification).
