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.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward a practical, non-invasive way to improve reading and daily function for people with vision loss after a stroke.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study with only 20 people, so results may not apply to everyone. The training may not lead to meaningful real-world improvements.
