Training kids to look smarter with visual impairment
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This trial studies whether a “viewing strategy” training program can improve how children with visual impairment use their vision for learning and daily tasks. It looks at whether the training helps most when kids still struggle with visual processing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 5 and 12 years old (study 2 is specifically 5–9 years old)
- Have a visual impairment diagnosis, or otherwise normal vision for the comparison group
- Have verbal (spoken) IQ above 70
- For visual field: have a central visual field of at least 30 degrees
- Do not have autism, ADHD, or other major psychiatric problems (per the trial’s screening)
- Have not done any vision training in the past 2 years

This study tests two types of vision training for children with low vision, either in person or through telehealth. It aims to help improve how children use their remaining vision.
This study uses a video-based eye-tracking system to test how well children with special needs and typical preschoolers can see. It aims to find a friendly way to screen vision without asking children to read letters.
This study tests a computer-based vision training program to see if it can improve how children with mild nearsightedness (myopia) see fine details. It might help slow the progression of nearsightedness or improve visual sharpness.
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 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 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.
