概要	We studied the visibility of characters by measuring reading speed, rate of misreadings, and viewing distance while 41 young, 14 middle aged, and 33 elderly subjects read graphic Japanese text on mobile phones aloud. We also recorded subjects' subjective evaluations after every trial. The subjects' visual functions of cataract cloudiness and near visual acuity were also measured. We found that reading performance deteriorated as the size of the characters became smaller, and as subjects became older. Cloudiness and near visual acuity were strongly correlated with age, and they also affected reading performance. However, neither of the two had higher correlations with reading speed or viewing distance, than with age.
