Outcome measures
Primary outcome
To analyze the test-retest and inter-chart reliability of the three charts of
the Radner reading chart with respect to reading acuity, maximum reading speed
and critical print size.
Secondary outcome
If the Radner reading chart reveals to have a low reliability in this study
population, new sentences have to be composed, tested and selected.
Background summary
A reading test is a better functional parameter for the macular function than
measurements with the routine single optotype distance visual acuity tests. In
order to have a highly reproducible reading chart, useful for research purposes
and daily practice, we previously developed the Dutch version of the Radner
reading chart. This chart consists of three charts with 14 sentences each.
Study objective
To measure the test-retest and inter-chart reliability of the Dutch version of
the Radner reading chart in an older population with maculopathy.
Study design
Prospective cohort study.
Study burden and risks
We will select patients who have to return to our hospital for clinical
examination within one month. Therefore, the patients do not need extra visits
for this study.
One reading performance test will take about 10-15 minutes.

Exclusion criteria
Additional eye disease (eg. amblyopie) or medication (eg anxiolytica or anti-epileptica) that could affect reading performance,
