Study of brain-eye learning changes in macular degeneration
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 89 years old
- An eye doctor has diagnosed you with macular degeneration
- Your vision is very reduced in both eyes (20/100 or worse)
- Your most central retina shows noticeably worse light sensitivity than the side areas
- This level of severe disease has been present for at least 2 years (based on records)
- You live within 50 miles of the study site

This study focuses on adults with macular degeneration and aims to improve how well you can use your remaining vision. It uses learning and brain stimulation, so it may help you notice and use your vision more effectively.
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 trial tests a new approach to improve vision in people with end-stage age-related macular degeneration (AMD). It aims to help those whose vision has dropped to a moderate or severe level, even with glasses, and who are not contact lens wearers.
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 new reading method for people who have lost their central vision due to diseases like macular degeneration. It uses special tasks to see if you can read words and sentences better.
This study looks at how the human eye detects very small “quantum” information. It compares people with certain vision conditions to people with normal vision to see how the eye’s macula and overall vision are involved.
