Text remapping to help reading with central vision loss
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This trial tests a new way of arranging words on a screen to help people with central vision loss read more easily by using their remaining side vision. If you have blind spots in the center of both eyes, this study may help you find a better way to read.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have dense blind spots (at least 2 degrees across) in the very center of both eyes that prevent you from seeing letters clearly.
- Your vision must be stable enough to complete a simple eye-tracking task during the visit.
- You must not have 'wet' age-related macular degeneration (a type that causes bleeding or fluid leakage).
- You must not have any other eye disease besides the condition causing your central vision loss.

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 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.
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 tests whether a computer-based visual training method (“remapping”) can help people read better even when they have reduced central vision. You may benefit if your eye condition is stable and your eyes can reliably track the training on an eye-tracker.
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 tests whether a safe, noninvasive brain stimulation technique (called tDCS) can help people with vision loss from retinitis pigmentosa, rod-cone dystrophy, or advanced glaucoma move around more easily and safely. Participants will do walking and orientation tasks while receiving the stimulation.
