First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study enrolls 25 people with severe retinal diseases like retinitis pigmentosa and Stargardt disease to test new ways of measuring visual function. Researchers will evaluate how well participants can perform various vision tests, such as navigating obstacles or detecting light. The goal is to create more reliable endpoints for future clinical trials, not to test a new treatment.
