Study of life movement and vision loss in older adults
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study looks at whether how far and how much you move around each day is linked to glaucoma and vision field loss in older adults. It may help researchers understand what affects vision changes over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are enrolled in one of two specific glaucoma research studies at UAB (IRB-300000301 or IRB-161115004).
- If you are a control (not a glaucoma/eye disease patient), you must not have a diagnosis of any eye disease.
- If you are a patient, you should not be enrolled in the other excluded NIH-funded study option (you must be in only the allowed study).
- If you are a control, you must be able to do the study tests without help from cognitive support (no major memory/thinking problems).

This is a small pilot study that measures how parts of the retina change before and after light stimulation. It may help researchers understand eye function in people with normal vision or specific eye conditions like glaucoma or dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
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 study looks at different ways to measure how glaucoma affects your vision over time by comparing visual field results. It may help researchers find better models to track progression so treatment decisions can be made more accurately.
This study tests a new way to measure vision, called MLSDT, in people with normal sight or vision loss from Stargardt disease or geographic atrophy (a type of advanced age-related macular degeneration). Results will help doctors better understand how well patients can see.
This study tests a questionnaire and assessment tool to better understand how glaucoma affects everyday activities, and possibly driving readiness. It may help clinicians measure impact on daily living and monitor patient needs more clearly.
This study tracks changes in blood flow, structure, and vision over time in people with glaucoma or high eye pressure. It aims to understand how these conditions progress, which could help improve future treatment.
