Summary

This study tests a new way to improve vision loss caused by a stroke. It combines low-intensity focused ultrasound (LIFUS) with virtual reality therapy to stimulate the brain's vision areas. The study will enroll 28 adults who had a stroke 6 to 24 months ago and now have partial or complete vision loss in half of their visual field. Participants will receive brain scans and undergo 1.5 months of treatment to see if their vision and quality of life improve.
