Eye exercises may improve reading after stroke vision loss
NCT ID NCT06638619
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This pilot study tests whether eye movement training can help people who lost part of their vision after a stroke. Twenty participants will either use an eye-tracking machine in the clinic or do reading exercises at home. Researchers will measure changes in eye movements and reading ability to see which approach works better.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- saccadic training and biofeedback fixation training
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could point toward a practical, non-invasive way to improve reading and daily function for people with vision loss after a stroke.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small pilot study with only 20 people, so results may not apply to everyone. The training may not lead to meaningful real-world improvements.
