: Hi Lorraine. Actually I fully agree with you - distance it is. Your suggestion hadn't appreared when I began to type my answer, so I only intended to clarify the meaning for Liz. After that I got caught up elsewhere. :O) :O)

Comment: "Thank you!
It seems most of the test and text is about reading distance, so will stick with this, despite the repetition!"

reading segment/path/route
It's not the amount of reading, I believe it refers to the kind of segment whose reading is more confortable to the patient. Good luck.

No - range perhaps?
Hi Liz,
At a loss as what synonym you might use, but recorrido here means the same as distance - it is not the amount of reading, but the distance that's most comfortable for the person. I might suggest 'range' but of course, that wouldn't imply a single distance.
Perhaps someone else can help you nail a precise term.
good luck!

That's fine Liz. When I began typing Only Juliana's answer was visible so I just wanted to make sure that I got the message across re distance not amount.
Good luck and a huge smile!

Note from asker:
| Thank you for clarifying the meaning of this term. I have stuck with "distance" as this seems to be the repetitive point of this text I am translating! |

: Reading range is the best option for me too.

Thanks vm Mariana. IMHO, 'distance' is fine providing Liz finds a way to avoid making the text too repetitive. :O) :O)
