First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether adding emotional regulation therapy (ERT) to standard low vision rehabilitation (LVR) helps people with inherited retinal diseases who feel anxious or distressed about their vision. About 180 participants will receive LVR, which includes free vision-enhancing devices and training. Those with high distress will also get ERT. The goal is to see if the combination improves daily function and reduces anxiety more than LVR alone.
