| Abstract | One of the most prevalent visual impairments of people aged 60 and older is age-related macular degeneration (AMD), which ranks third globally as a cause of visual impairment (World Health Organization, 2006). The purpose of this study was to conduct a tentative subjective assessment of eccentric viewing by persons with AMD. The authors recruited registered persons with bilateral AMD who had low vision and had received some instruction in the use of magnification devices. Results indicated that the themes pertaining to the subjective assessment of eccentric viewing that emerged from the data were related to instrumental and emotional support and the costs and benefits of acquiring eccentric viewing, which appear to be interactive. Although participants who lived alone found reading to be difficult, they felt that they benefited from eccentric viewing as a means of exploring their remaining vision and the possibility of optimizing their reading abilities, possibly because they did not have the option of changing roles to retain their dependence.
