The effect of lighting on vision in dry age-related macular degeneration
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study looks at how different types of lighting (like bright or dim lights) affect your ability to see if you have dry AMD. The goal is to find lighting conditions that help you see better, which could improve your daily life.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether low-level red-light therapy can help people with dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a common cause of vision loss in older adults. The therapy is a painless light treatment that you might receive in multiple sessions, and the study aims to see if it can slow or improve vision decline.
This trial tests whether visual rehabilitation can help improve both vision and mood in people with advanced dry age-related macular degeneration. It aims to understand the link between vision loss and depression.
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 trial tests a special optical device that may improve vision for people with legally blind dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD). It focuses on improving how well you can see, despite the damage to the center of your retina.
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 is testing whether shining a special light on the eye, called photobiomodulation, can help people with dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD). If you have dry AMD and are willing to participate, you will receive the light treatment and be monitored.
