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 study tests a new treatment to improve vision in people with advanced age-related macular degeneration (AMD). If you have significant vision loss from AMD, this might help you see better.
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 looks at how age-related macular degeneration (AMD) affects the light-sensitive part of the eye (retina) and the brain. By joining, you help researchers learn more about the condition, which could lead to better treatments in the future.
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.
