Reading Speed Of Different Fonts In Young Ametropes

This study has been carried out to compare reading speed and visual comfort of different font types in young Ametropes. Nowadays every work uses computer in one way or the other. There is no other study done before for Ametropia with fonts. Thus, it becomes a crucial to find out the best font type for Ametropes to read text on a computer screen. Several studies have found no significant differences in reading efficiency between the font types at any size. But there were, however, significant differences in reading time. In this prospective study, 6 font types (Times New Roman; Arial; Verdana; Georgia; Courier new; Comic sans MS;) were chosen. The sample size for this study is 60, with 43.3% being male and 56.7% being female. They were asked to read the given passages in 6 different font types. They were also asked to grade the font types according to their visual comfort. The data collected were then analyzed by comparing the reading speed of different font types between different types of Ametropia.
