First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This pilot study tests whether eye movement training can help people who lost part of their vision after a stroke. Twenty participants will either use an eye-tracking machine in the clinic or do reading exercises at home. Researchers will measure changes in eye movements and reading ability to see which approach works better.
