NCT ID NCT07531667

First seen Apr 21, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 9 times

Summary

This study tested whether a special stick-on lens called a Fresnel prism can help people with hemianopia (blindness on one side of vision) see a wider area. Twenty-five adults with this condition wore the prism on their glasses for a period. The researchers measured changes in their visual field and how comfortable the prism felt. The goal was to see if this simple device could improve mobility and reduce fall risk.
