Abstract
Background: Reading enables us to obtain information, to engage in leisure, educational, business and other activities, and fosters cognitive stimulation. Acquired vision loss can have a negative effect on an individual’s ability to read, and, by extension, reduce overall quality of life. In addition, a growing body of research on the association between reading and cognition has linked a decrease in reading ability with negative changes in cognitive function. Therefore, the purpose of the current study is to test the feasibility of a research protocol that will be used to study the association between reduced reading ability and cognitive impairment, specifically in older adults with acquired vision loss.
