Summary

This study tests a new approach to improve vision loss caused by a stroke. It combines low-intensity focused ultrasound (LIFUS) to stimulate brain areas responsible for sight with immersive virtual reality therapy. 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 undergo brain imaging before and after the 1.5-month treatment to measure changes in brain activity and vision.
