Abstract
The Low Vision Reading Comprehension Assessment (LVRCA) uses an 18-sen tence doze format in two equivalent forms to measure understanding of print reading by persons with macular degeneration. It requires nine m inutes to administer and thus can be used in clinical settings. This a rticle describes its development and a study of the reliability and va lidity of the LVRCA tested on 50 persons with macular degeneration.
