Patients with retinitis pigmentosa (RP) who have insufficient vision to benefit from optical low vision aids are frequently helped by the closed-circuit television (CCTV) reading machines. RP patients'' use of the CCTV is compared with that of patients with maculopathy (i.e. a group with a central scotoma only, is compared to a group which also has additional peripheral field loss), and with that of a "normal" control group. The performance of people with RP is improved by using white print on a black background, while macular degeneration subjects have no significant preference. Speed limits appear to be a function of restrictions imposed by the machine. Both groups frequently read faster with "optical aids".
