VISUAL IMPAIRMENT

This study is testing whether a simple computer program can help people regain peripheral vision lost after a stroke or brain injury. Researchers will have 40 participants either watch regular online news or use a special PowerPoint slideshow for 15 minutes, three times a week. T…

This study is testing if two different eye injections can prevent long-term vision loss in people who received radiation treatment for a type of eye cancer called choroidal melanoma. The trial will compare the injections against simply monitoring vision and only treating if probl…

This study is testing a new rehabilitation method for people who have lost part of their vision after a stroke. Researchers are combining gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation with visual training exercises, some using virtual reality, to see if it can help restore vision in the…

This study is testing whether a telemedicine approach can detect serious eye diseases as effectively as traditional in-person eye exams. Researchers will compare detection rates for glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and cataracts in 900 patients at community health centers. The goa…

This study is testing a new rehabilitation program that uses multiple senses—sight, sound, and touch—to help people with severe vision loss. Researchers want to see if this approach can improve daily tasks, hand-eye coordination, and overall quality of life. The program is design…

This study aims to understand how the brain processes touch when using a tool, like a white cane. Researchers will compare sighted and visually impaired adults to see how the brain represents the cane as a sensory extension of the body. The study involves simple touch tasks and b…

This study aims to understand how certain substances in the blood relate to changes seen in detailed eye scans for people with diabetic macular edema (DME), a vision-threatening condition. Researchers will observe 150 patients who are either receiving standard eye injections/impl…

This study aims to define a new concept called 'visual frailty' and create a tool to measure it. Researchers will gather information from 20 Scottish adults aged 60+ with advanced age-related macular degeneration (AMD). They will look at vision, reading ability, daily function, m…
