Summary
This study tested whether watching special visual patterns in a virtual reality headset could help repair damaged optic nerves and improve vision in people with glaucoma or other eye diseases. The approach was based on animal studies showing that certain visual stimulation can encourage nerve regrowth. The study enrolled 22 participants but was terminated early, so results are limited.
