Helping people with sight loss read more easily

Reading can be difficult for people with central vision loss, as damage to the macula affects natural eye movement - making reading slow, tiring, and less enjoyable. Our upcoming webinar will explore a new technique that moves text on a screen in a way that mimics how healthy eyes naturally scan and pause. This technique called Biomimetic Scrolling (BMS) is designed to make reading faster, easier, and more comfortable for people with sight loss.

Dr Dirk Seidel from Glasgow Caledonian University will discuss the technique the present findings from his recent Macular Society-funded study, which showed how BMS helped people with central vision loss read more quickly and easily.

Join us to learn how this could improve reading apps and support people with vision loss to read with comfort. This webinar will be taking place on Tuesday 20 May.
