The vision loss from glaucoma can
create difficulties for patients when it comes to reading. Adults with glaucoma
read slower when reading silently for long periods of time and are more likely
to have their reading speed decrease over time, possibly as a result of reading
fatigue. The common technology of e-readers may offer some help in that patients
with glaucoma may benefit from using e-readers such as iPads, Nooks and Kindle
devices according to a recent study published in Investigative
Ophthalmology & Visual Science. Fortunately, these studies
suggest that iPads, Nooks and Kindle devices along with the apps that are
developed for them may very well help glaucoma patients read more comfortably,
over longer periods of time and with better overall ease.

you or someone you know is concerned about vision loss from glaucoma and wishes
