Testing texture-changing coatings on at-home rapid tests
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study tests new coatings that change texture for at-home rapid tests to make them easier for blind or visually impaired people to use. You'll help see if the coatings work well and how to improve them.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been blind or visually impaired for more than 10 years.
- You regularly use tactile aids (like a white cane or braille).
- You have a basic understanding of math graphs (like high school geometry).
- You do not have any hand conditions or amputations that affect how you use your hands.

This study tests how well touch-based aids help people who are blind or visually impaired understand math plots. The goal is to see if these tools work better for everyday use.
This trial tests if a device that converts visual information into sound or touch can help people who are blind. Researchers will see how the brain adapts to using this new sense.
This study tests a computer program that helps measure your eyesight. It aims to see if the program gives results that match a standard eye exam, which could make future eye checks easier.
This study tests if small sensors attached to magnifiers and remote rehab sessions can help people with low vision use their new devices more. You may join if you recently got a magnifier or vision app and can attend visits.
This trial tests how well an EyeCTester smartphone app can measure vision blind spots and distorted vision compared with standard eye tests. If you qualify, you’ll do short near-vision and “Amsler grid” style tasks in the clinic to help confirm the app is accurate.
This trial tests a new automated vision-check system you can use on a phone or tablet. It aims to see if it works as well as the standard eye chart for people with at least counting-finger vision.
