VISUAL IMPAIRMENT

This study compares a technology-enhanced eye screening to a standard eye exam for detecting three leading causes of blindness: glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and cataracts. About 900 adults from a health center will participate. The goal is to see if the faster telemedicine app…

This study tests two treatments—faricimab injections or a fluocinolone acetonide implant—to prevent vision loss in people who had radiation therapy for eye cancer. About 600 participants will be randomly assigned to one of the treatments or to observation only. The goal is to see…

This study tests a new rehabilitation method for people who lost part of their vision due to a stroke. The approach combines gentle electrical brain stimulation with visual exercises using moving images, sometimes in virtual reality. The goal is to see if this can speed up and im…

This study is testing a new rehabilitation program that uses multiple senses (like hearing and touch) to help people with ultra low vision. The goal is to improve their visual ability, hand-eye coordination, and quality of life. The study will involve 36 participants with very po…

This study looks at 150 people with diabetic macular edema (DME) to see if certain markers in the blood and eye scans can predict how well they respond to two common treatments: anti-VEGF injections or a dexamethasone implant. Participants will be divided into groups based on the…

This study looks at what 'visual frailty' means for people aged 60 and older who have age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Researchers will measure vision, reading ability, daily function, mental health, and other health conditions to create a new assessment tool. The goal is …

This study looks at how blind people use a white cane not just to move around, but to sense the world. Researchers will measure where people feel a touch on the cane and track brain activity with EEG and MRI. The goal is to understand how the cane becomes an extension of the body…

This study tests whether viewing images from a PowerPoint slide set can help expand the visual field in people with hemianopsia (partial blindness) after a stroke or brain injury. Researchers will measure changes using a standard vision test. The study involves 40 adults who have…
