Not that we need another reason to covet iPads, but the tablets may provide a new way to help patients with eye diseases.

Researchers at the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School report at the American Academy of Ophthalmology annual meeting in Chicago that digital tablets like iPads and Kindles improved reading speeds in patients with low vision.

But in the new study, 100 participants each read a chapter from a book in three formats: in its traditional printed form, on an iPad and on a Kindle. On the iPad and Kindle, the participants read the chapter twice; once at 12 point font, and another time using 18 point font. When using the iPad, participants increased their reading speed by 42 words-per-minute (WPM) on the 18-point font setting, compared to reading the printed book. On the Kindle, the participants increased their speed by 12 WPM. Overall, people with modest vision loss improved their speed by 15 words-per-minute on average.

The researchers believe it’s the back-lit screens on the tables that are responsible for the reading improvements, since they provide greater contrast and allow the words to appear crisper. People with poor vision often struggle with distinguishing objects or words from their backgrounds. Although the original Kindle used in study did not have a back-lit screen (current models do), even its word and background contrast most likely made it easier for patients to distinguish the tablet’s words better than those off of a book.
