Reading aid study for central vision loss
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study tests a new reading method for people who have lost their central vision due to diseases like macular degeneration. It uses special tasks to see if you can read words and sentences better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have dense blind spots (scotomas) at least 2 degrees wide in each eye, covering the center of your vision.
- Your ability to fix your gaze steadily must be within a certain range, measured by a simple eye-tracking task.
- You cannot have active wet macular degeneration.
- You cannot have any other eye diseases besides the one 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 trial tests a new approach to improve vision in people with end-stage age-related macular degeneration (AMD). It aims to help those whose vision has dropped to a moderate or severe level, even with glasses, and who are not contact lens wearers.
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 studies a vision rehabilitation approach for veterans who have vision loss from age-related macular degeneration. The goal is to see whether the training improves how well people can use vision despite their eye condition.
