Die Entwicklung einer neuen Methode zur Bestimmung der Leseschärfe – Das "Salzburg Reading Desk (SRD)"

Comparison of a trifocal intraocular lens with a +3.0 D bifocal IOL: Results of a prospective randomized clinical trial

“…16 The uncorrected reading acuity and reading performance were measured at baseline and 3 months postoperatively with the Dutch Radner reading chart 17 (Rotterdam Eye Hospital, Rotterdam, the Netherlands) using the Salzburg Reading Desk (SRD Vision). 18 The Radner reading chart comprises standardized sentences, allowing evaluation in patients with different levels of education. To evaluate visionrelated quality of life, the National Eye Institute Refractive Error Correction Quality of Life Instrument-42 (NEI-RQL 42) questionnaire 19 was used preoperatively and 6 months postoperatively.…”

Bilateral reading performance of 4 multifocal intraocular lens models and a monofocal intraocular lens under bright lighting conditions

“…The system offers computerized testing under standardized conditions while simulating a natural reading process. [6][7][8][9] Thus, the desk is a helpful automated (and thereby investigator-independent) tool in the evaluation of presbyopia-correcting procedures.…”

“…Developed for standardized testing of reading acuity and reading speed at any reading distance using different log-scaled reading charts, 6-8 the system offers computerized testing under strictly defined conditions while simulating a natural reading process. [6][7][8][9] The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of bilateral implantation of 5 currently available IOL models (4 multifocal and 1 monofocal) in improving different aspects of reading performance. In particular, we used the Salzburg Reading Desk to assess uncorrected and corrected bilateral reading acuity, reading distance, the mean and maximum reading speeds, and the smallest log-scaled print size patients could effectively read; the minimum follow-up was 1 year.…”

Reading performance after implantation of a small-aperture corneal inlay for the surgical correction of presbyopia: Two-year follow-up

“…It has been shown that this stereo-photogrammetric technology is a valid and reliable method to evaluate reading speed and reading distance and to calculate the corresponding reading acuity at best distance. 10,11 A microphone continuously records the time of the reading process. Log-scaled Radner Reading Charts were used with the reading desk setup.…”

“…The system offers computerized testing under standardized conditions while simulating a "natural" reading process. 10,11 The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the Kamra intracorneal inlay in improving different aspects of reading performance. In particular, we used the Salzburg Reading Desk to assess uncorrected bilateral reading acuity, reading distance, reading speed, and the smallest log-scaled sentence the patient could effectively read over a follow-up of 2 years.…”
