Evaluation of The Effectiveness Of Reading Rehabilitation Module On Reading Performance And Quality of Life In Patients With Glaucoma
The goal of this interventional study is to test the effectiveness of reading rehabilitation module towards reading speed and error, and quality of life in glaucoma patients.The main questions it aims to answer are:
1. Is there a significant difference in reading speed over a 6-month period between glaucoma patients who undergo a reading rehabilitation module and those who receive standard care? 2. To what extent does the implementation of a reading rehabilitation module reduce the frequency of reading errors in glaucoma patients compared to a control group across baseline, 3-month, and 6-month follow-ups? 3. How does a structured reading rehabilitation module influence the self-reported quality of life in glaucoma patients from baseline to 6 months when compared to those receiving standard care?
Participants will:
Patients in interventional group will be instructed to practice the reading module for 20-30 minutes daily, minimum 3 days/week, for 6 months.
Visit the clinic once every 3 months for checkups and tests A logbook will be provided to record their practice sessions.
While participants in control group will receive standard care, visit the clinic once every 3 months for checkups and tests.
