Ground-Level vision test could help retinitis pigmentosa patients walk better
NCT ID NCT03989622
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study was designed to see if a new method of measuring the visual field—by projecting vision zones on the ground—helps people with retinitis pigmentosa understand their remaining sight and improve their walking rehabilitation. The trial was withdrawn before enrolling any participants, so no results are available. It would have involved adults with advanced peripheral vision loss who could walk without a white cane.
