LOW VISION

This study tests a wearable device that uses directional sound to help people with low vision detect obstacles. Fifty participants with normal vision will wear a blindfold and walk a path with obstacles, once with the device and once without. Researchers will measure changes in w…

This study tests whether remote training (telerehabilitation) works as well as in-person visits for helping adults with low vision use magnifiers and visual apps. It also uses small Bluetooth sensors to detect when people stop using their devices, so help can be offered sooner. T…

This study tests whether 5 weeks of eye movement training with visual and sound feedback can help people with central vision loss use their peripheral vision more effectively. About 12 participants with bilateral central vision loss from macular degeneration will do eye tracking …

This study looks at how older adults with and without vision problems step over obstacles of different heights and colors. Researchers want to understand how vision and eye movements affect walking to help prevent falls. About 200 adults who can walk on their own will take part.

This study is testing a new virtual reality (VR) test called VisionumVR to see if it can reliably measure how well people with low vision improve during rehabilitation. About 60 participants who are starting or already in orthoptic low vision therapy will take a 20-minute VR task…
