Training with visual remapping to help reading with central vision loss
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study tests whether a computer-based visual training method (“remapping”) can help people read better even when they have reduced central vision. You may benefit if your eye condition is stable and your eyes can reliably track the training on an eye-tracker.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be age 16 or older
- Have significant central vision loss that includes the center of vision (the fovea) in both eyes
- Your eye’s gaze during testing should stay steady (fixation) within a small margin using your PRL
- Have no signs of cognitive problems on a short memory/thinking test (MMSE)
- The research team must be able to set up calibration using an eye-tracker successfully

This study tests a device that is surgically implanted in the eye of people with late-stage age-related macular degeneration (AMD). It also uses vision training with a telescope-like tool to see if the treatment can improve day-to-day vision.
This trial tests a new way of arranging words on a screen to help people with central vision loss read more easily by using their remaining side vision. If you have blind spots in the center of both eyes, this study may help you find a better way to read.
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.
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.
This trial tests whether special computer-based visual exercises can help people whose vision was damaged by a stroke. You would do the exercises at home for several months.
This study tests whether a computer-based visual training program can help people who have lost vision after a stroke to their brain's visual center. You must have been in a prior study with the same team.
