[The relationship between reading rehabilitation and visual functions in low vision].
Reading rehabilitation was done for 51 low vision patients who underwent tests of the contrast sensitivity function (CSF) and the visual field. The results showed that the recognized frequency of CSF was related to the reading capability. The CSF was useful in predicting the reading prognosis, and visual field impairment significantly affected the reading ability. The relationship between the reading rehabilitation and the visual functions was discussed.
