Vision Training With Feedback for Central Vision Loss
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Blurred or missing spots in the center of both eyes, confirmed by vision testing
- Vision between 20/60 and 20/200 (moderate vision loss, but not complete blindness)
- Vision loss has been stable for at least 6 months with no major changes
- Age 14 or older with an eye disease affecting the macula (center of the retina)
- Normal thinking and memory skills (score of 24 or higher on a brief mental test)
- Able to hear well enough to participate and speak English fluently

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 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.
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 scalable educational program to help people adjust and cope with vision loss. It's for those who have visited a low-vision rehabilitation clinic and can engage with the audiovisual materials.
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 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.
