Virtual reality vision testing for people with retinal disease
Part of Eyes & vision, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This early-stage study uses virtual reality tasks to check how well a person can move and function using their eyesight. It may help researchers measure vision abilities in a way that could guide future care for retinal disease.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 5 years old (NEI site) or 13 years old (USyd site)
- You (or your parent/guardian) must understand the study and sign consent
- You must be able to cooperate with the virtual reality testing
- You must be able to read and speak English (or your guardian must, if you’re a minor)
- If you’re a healthy volunteer: you must have no retinal disease in either eye
- If you have retinal disease: you must have retinal disease in the study eye

This study measures how your eyes use two types of light-sensing cells (rods for dim light and cones for clearer detail). It may help researchers better understand retinal (retina) diseases and how well vision is functioning.
This study tests a quick, noninvasive eye test that measures how well you see in the dark, which can be an early sign of dry AMD. Researchers want to see if the test relates to everyday tasks like reading or driving at night.
This trial studies whether a virtual reality (VR) eye test can measure a child’s vision field (where they can see) instead of standard testing. It may help clinics test children in a more comfortable way, especially if traditional tests are hard for kids.
This study tests whether virtual reality tests can measure vision problems caused by age-related macular degeneration (AMD). It includes people with different stages of AMD, from early to advanced, as well as healthy adults, to see how well the tests work for each group.
This study tests whether a virtual reality (VR) tool can help detect and measure visual distortions (like wavy or bent lines) in people with certain eye conditions. It may offer a more precise way to monitor these changes compared to traditional tests.
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.
