Can tablets and VR better capture how eye disease affects daily life?
NCT ID NCT07489898
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
Standard eye tests often miss the real-world vision problems people face, like trouble recognizing faces or navigating in low light. This study will test new tablet and virtual reality tools in 50 adults with neurodegenerative eye diseases to see if they better capture how vision affects quality of life. The goal is to improve how future treatments are evaluated in clinical trials.
