Background: The aim of the study is to allow people to continue their day-to-day tasks, reading is one of the most important things. It is achieved by providing of suitable optical devices and special training in the use of distance and near vision. Method: The study encompassed 46 patients with various diseases ranging from 20 to 65 years of age. Each patient underwent eye examination, which included determining their magnification requirements and providing them with suitable low vision devices. Reading speed, quantified in words per minute, was assessed by having the patients read from the M.N. Reading Chart after they had been equipped with the previously mentioned devices. Results: In this prospective study, patients with partial vision showed improvement in visual acuity and reading speed after receiving low vision management. The average best-corrected distance visual acuity of the better eye was 6/36 +/- 6/9. Among those who used optical aids, 58% saw improvement in vision. Reading speed increased from 8 +/- 26 words per minute to 72 +/- 33 words per minute after utilizing magnification.94% of patients were able, to achieved reading ability with the magnification. In terms of mobility and orientation, some patient achieved fair to best mobility levels. 73.3% of patients were able to continue their jobs after receiving assistance. Conclusion: A standardized reading speed measurement is crucial for evaluating the impact of low vision services on visually impaired patients. Our research indicates that providing suitable vision aids can improve reading ability, leading to significantly enhanced reading speed and daily mobility.
