Interventions
Group 1: The 3 Radner texts (1,2 and 3) and 3 IReST texts (#3, #6, #10) are read by the patients, the reading time is measured with a stopwatch and the read errors are counted. A randomization is perf

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The following question should be clarified: Is there a difference in the measurement and evaluation of reading speed between our newly developed longer reading texts IReST or the short Radner texts? | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Are there differences between patients and normal seeing people? Is a correction factor necessary when determining the reading speed with different reading texts? A correction factor could be used to compare the results of studies that were determined with either longer texts (e.g. IReST) or short sentences (e.g. Radner reading boards). | — |
