NCT ID NCT05439759
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how the brain changes and adapts after losing central vision, which happens in conditions like macular degeneration. Researchers are testing different training tasks in 120 healthy adults aged 18-30 to measure improvements in eye movements and focus. The goal is to learn more about brain plasticity so that better therapies can be developed for people with low vision.
