 Purpose:To know how a closed-circuit television is utilized as magnified reading aid by visually handicapped persons. Methods:Magnified reading aid was purchased by 29 persons out of a series of 92 patients seen at our low-vision clinic during the past 16months. They were interviewed over the telephone. Results:Twenty-eight persons responded to the questionnaire. The reading aid was actually used by 24 persons(86%). They comprised 17males and 7 females. Their ages ranged from 42 to 92 years,average 69 years. The visual acuity in the dominant eye ranged from 0.02 to 0.5. Twenty persons(84%)preferred color function to monochromatic one. Visual impairment was due to macular degeneration(29%),diabetic retinopathy(21%),glaucoma(21%)and others. Conclusion:Reading aid utilizing closed-circuit television improves the quality of life of visually handicapped persons. Follow-up assistance is keenly needed.
