Recruiting studies
- NCT05028712Recruiting
Multi-sensory rehab program for people with ultra low vision
This trial tests a rehabilitation program using multiple senses to help people with very low vision function more independently. It may help you learn new skills for daily life by using vision plus other senses.
New York, New YorkAges 12–99 - NCT06107881Recruiting
Testing sensors and rehab to help improve use of low-vision devices
This study tests if small sensors attached to magnifiers and remote rehab sessions can help people with low vision use their new devices more. You may join if you recently got a magnifier or vision app and can attend visits.
Fullerton, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07092124Recruiting
Virtual reality test for low vision rehabilitation
This study is testing a virtual reality test to help people with low vision who are starting or have started rehabilitation. The goal is to see how well the test works for different types of vision loss.
AngersAges 18 years+ - NCT04190134RecruitingPhase 1
Robot training to help you use a reading magnifier
This study tests a “socially assistive robot” that coaches and supports you in using your reading magnifier. It may help you use the device more easily and comfortably for reading tasks.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06651736Recruiting
Low vision rehab for people with inherited eye disease and distress
This study tests a 10-week low vision rehabilitation program for people with inherited retinal diseases who also feel emotionally distressed. The goal is to see if the program improves daily function and emotional well-being.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT07577219Recruiting
Vision Training With Feedback for Central Vision Loss
This study teaches people with central vision loss (blurred or missing spots in the middle of vision) how to use their remaining side vision better, using special training with audio and visual feedback. It may help improve how well you can read and recognize faces.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 14 years+ - NCT03011541Recruiting
Stem cell treatment for damaged retina or optic nerve
This study looks at stem-cell treatment to help vision in adults whose retina or optic nerve damage is not expected to improve on its own. You may be a candidate if your eye exam shows documented, stable or slowly changing damage and you can safely complete follow-up eye visits.
Westport, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT07073521Recruiting
Cognitive therapy for adjusting to vision loss
This study tests new ways to help people adjust to vision loss using thinking and coping strategies. If you are an adult with vision loss and willing to share feedback, this may be a good fit.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05888441Recruiting
Walking obstacle testing in people with and without vision trouble
This trial studies how people negotiate obstacles while walking, comparing those with normal vision and those with vision impairment. It may help researchers better understand balance and safety needs for walking in everyday settings.
Bloomington, IndianaAges 18 years+ - NCT05600140Recruiting
Training kids to look smarter with visual impairment
This trial studies whether a “viewing strategy” training program can improve how children with visual impairment use their vision for learning and daily tasks. It looks at whether the training helps most when kids still struggle with visual processing.
NijmegenAges 5–12 - NCT07337317Recruiting
Testing stairway designs for people with vision loss
This study compares different stairway designs to see which are easier and safer for people with vision impairment. It will help identify features that make stairs more accessible.
Huntsville, AlabamaAges 65 years+ - NCT07341763Recruiting
Brain stimulation for better mobility in vision loss
This study tests whether a safe, noninvasive brain stimulation technique (called tDCS) can help people with vision loss from retinitis pigmentosa, rod-cone dystrophy, or advanced glaucoma move around more easily and safely. Participants will do walking and orientation tasks while receiving the stimulation.
Waterloo, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06701617Recruiting
Vision training for children with low vision
This study tests two types of vision training for children with low vision, either in person or through telehealth. It aims to help improve how children use their remaining vision.
TaipeiAges 1 month–18 years - NCT07149259Recruiting
Testing eSight Go at home for vision loss
This trial tests whether using eSight Go electronic glasses at home can help people with vision impairment see better in daily life. You wear the device while doing normal activities to see if it improves your vision and quality of life.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18–90 - NCT04142307Recruiting
Biofeedback training for infant eye shaking
This trial tests whether biofeedback-based training can improve control of eye shaking (nystagmus) in infants with idiopathic infantile nystagmus. If you can safely follow the training and testing steps, it may help the eyes learn more steady viewing over time.
Toronto, OntarioAges 5–17 - NCT06237829Recruiting
Testing touch aids for people who are blind
This study tests how well touch-based aids help people who are blind or visually impaired understand math plots. The goal is to see if these tools work better for everyday use.
Newark, DelawareAges 16 years+ - NCT06477809Recruiting
Testing a device to help blind people with daily tasks
This trial tests a new device (ARIA) that helps people who are blind navigate daily tasks. If you have no light perception or only light perception, use a long cane, and are comfortable with a smartphone, you may be able to take part in 4 sessions in Sydney.
Sydney, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT06593405RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Occupational therapy for eye disease medication management
This trial tests whether occupational therapy can help people with age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic retinopathy (DR), or glaucoma better manage their medications. Participants share their deidentified data to see if therapy improves outcomes.
Worcester, MassachusettsAges 50–100 - NCT07218991Recruiting
Wearable sound device to help with walking
This study tests a wearable device that uses sound to help people navigate their surroundings. It might be helpful for people who have trouble seeing, but you must be healthy overall.
Galveston, TexasAges 18–100 - NCT07563101Enrolling by invitation
Understanding Visual Hallucinations in Low Vision Patients
This study investigates Charles Bonnet Syndrome, which causes people with significant vision loss to see things that aren't there (visual hallucinations). Researchers want to better understand why this happens and how it affects patients' quality of life.
RomaAges 40–70 - NCT06034379Recruiting
Special glasses vs. eye drops for nearsighted kids
This study compares two ways to slow down worsening nearsightedness in children: special electronic glasses versus low-dose atropine eye drops. It may help your child keep their eyesight from getting much worse over time.
HsinchuAges 6–13 - NCT07635329Recruiting
Home Vision Therapy Guided by Brain Scans
This study tests whether vision rehabilitation exercises done at home, guided by brain imaging, can help people regain vision after a stroke, brain injury, or tumor. Participants will use brain scans to personalize their therapy.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for low vision?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 22 recruiting low vision studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a low vision trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a low vision trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
