NCT ID NCT05454124
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether special vision training can improve how people with central vision loss from macular degeneration see and move their eyes. Researchers will train 60 adults aged 18 to 89 with severe vision loss to better detect and discriminate visual patterns. The goal is to understand how the brain adapts after vision loss, which could lead to new low-vision therapies.
