**8. Conclusions**

Although most researchers usually focus on studying eccentric viewing training in individuals with AMD, mainly for reading purposes, it cannot be forgotten that there are many aspects that explain visual functioning for any task. Therefore, research in VR has to consider the multifactorial intervention of characteristics such as the use of eccentric viewing training, the effect of crowding, the improvement of certain visual skills thanks to training during a certain period of time, as well as that of other factors that, although they are currently being studied in depth by authors such as Chung, still need more information to understand their real importance in VR.

Although there are few studies on the transfer of learning and training for reading to other ADLs and mobility, it can be said that visual training guarantees improvements in visual functioning for reading and other tasks, like face discrimination, recognition.

In addition to perceptual learning, oculomotor control and eccentric viewing training, other strategies that may improve reading ability in AMD patients include *Evidence-Based Practice and Trends in Visual Rehabilitation for Patients with Age-Related… DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/intechopen.96817*

environmental changes (such as better lighting) and the prescription of filters and optical LVAs, such as high-plus reading lenses and different magnifiers (including clip-on, hand-held, or stand devices). Furthermore, many patients can also benefit from the use of electronic reading aids, including tablets, smartphones, electronic readers, HMDs or CCTV systems.

The widespread presence of accessible portable devices and software has led to a breakthrough in access to information and travel assistance for people with low vision. Some studies are therefore looking at the evidence for the use of such digital devices by the population, in contrast to the use of optical aids.

In fact, there is no such dilemma, because, as initially discussed, AMD patients are increasingly demanding a wider and more varied range of objectives to meet their needs, and the availability of a wider range of resources is only intended to meet these demands.

On the other hand, there are multiple factors involved in the visual skills that a person with AMD must perform, so a greater variety of resources offers the possibility of finding those best suited to their visual conditions.
