Brain-related vision problems in children
This study looks at how brain injuries or abnormalities affect vision in children. It aims to better understand and diagnose cerebral visual impairment (CVI), a vision problem caused by brain issues rather than eye problems.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 6 months–6 years - NCT05865093Recruiting
Check early vision changes in infants at risk for brain vision problems
This pilot study looks at early vision (what babies can see and how their eyes respond) in children who have risk factors for future “cerebral visual impairment,” meaning vision problems caused by the brain. It may help doctors spot issues earlier and better understand which early visual signs matter.
RomeAges 2 days–3 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.

Vision rehab for hemianopsia after stroke or brain injury
This study tests a vision rehabilitation program for people who lost part of their vision on the same side in both eyes after a stroke or brain injury. The program uses flashing lights to help retrain your brain, so it is important that you do not have seizures triggered by lights.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 18 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+ - NCT06604104Recruiting
Visual Frailty Study in Older Adults with AMD
This study looks at something called 'visual frailty' in older adults with advanced age-related macular degeneration (AMD). It aims to develop a tool to better understand how vision loss affects daily life and overall health in people aged 60 and over.
Edinburgh, ScotlandAges 60 years+ - NCT05085210Recruiting
Brain stimulation to improve parts of lost vision
This study tests whether a noninvasive brain stimulation treatment (tRNS) plus visual training can improve visual field problems after a stroke. It may help some people regain better visual perception in the area they lost.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–80 - NCT07036575Recruiting
Easy-to-Read Content Study for Kids with Learning Challenges
This study tests if easy-to-read materials help children with intellectual disabilities understand health information better. It may benefit kids who have trouble with regular reading materials.
TaipeiAges 3–17 - 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 - NCT05454124Recruiting
Study of brain-eye learning changes in macular degeneration
This study looks at how the eye’s “central vision” area and connected brain learning/adjustment work in people with advanced macular degeneration. You may be asked to do vision testing using special eye-scanning equipment and follow study procedures that could help researchers better understand the disease.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–89 - NCT06906003Recruiting
Vision rehab and depression in age-related macular degeneration
This trial tests whether visual rehabilitation can help improve both vision and mood in people with advanced dry age-related macular degeneration. It aims to understand the link between vision loss and depression.
Rome, ItalyAges 55 years+ - NCT05791994Recruiting
Study tests visual stimulation to improve attention in mild memory issues
This study looks at whether repeated visual stimulation exercises can improve attention in people age 60+ with a specific type of mild cognitive impairment. A study team will also want you to have an informal caregiver to support participation.
AngersAges 60 years+ - NCT06500728Recruiting
Vision involvement in giant cell arteritis
This study looks at how vision is affected in people with giant cell arteritis (GCA) -- a condition where blood vessels become inflamed. It compares those with GCA-related vision loss to people who have similar vision problems but not from GCA, to better understand and treat these eye issues.
Milan, LombardyAges 18 years+ - NCT05844982RecruitingPhase 3
Eye injections or steroid implant to prevent vision loss
This trial studies ways to prevent worsening vision caused by radiation damage to the retina after plaque brachytherapy for uveal melanoma. You may be randomly assigned to a medication injection, a steroid implant, or observation to see which approach best protects vision.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06997354Recruiting
Parent survey to screen children for vision brain problems
This trial is testing a questionnaire for parents to help spot signs of vision problems in children that come from how the brain processes sight, not from the eyes themselves. It aims to make early detection easier for families and doctors.
Louvain-la-NeuveAges 3 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 - NCT03455478Recruiting
Study of adult vision health in Shanghai residents
This study looks at the eye health of adults who live in Shanghai. It may help researchers understand vision problems in the local population and improve future eye care.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–100 - NCT05199896Recruiting
Brain and touch study for people with early blindness
This study looks at how the brain works when people who are blind (from birth or early childhood) touch and move. It uses an MRI brain scan to compare responses, aiming to better understand learning and brain processing in early visual loss.
BronAges 18–60 - 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 - NCT05675150Recruiting
Art-based program for adults with age-related vision loss
This trial tests whether an expressive arts-based program can help adults who have age-related macular degeneration (a common cause of vision loss) by supporting wellbeing and daily functioning. If you meet the language, vision, and health requirements, participating may help you benefit from a structured arts intervention.
Hong KongAges 50–80 - NCT06000865Recruiting
