VisionWay Accessibility study for people with vision loss
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study tests a new system called VisionWay to help people with severe vision loss or blindness navigate safely. Researchers want to see if it works better than a cane or guide dog alone.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- Your vision must be worse than 20/200, meaning severe vision loss or total blindness.
- You cannot have a condition that makes it unsafe to walk, like a nerve or muscle disorder, recent surgery, balance problems, or a fall in the last 6 months.
- You cannot use a walker or a wheelchair.
- You may use no mobility aid, or use a cane, or use a guide dog (the study has groups for each).

This trial studies how people negotiate obstacles while walking, comparing those with normal vision and those with vision impairment. It may help researchers better understand balance and safety needs for walking in everyday settings.
This study tests a virtual assistant that helps people with low vision navigate daily tasks. Researchers will see if it improves brain activity and real-world function.
This study compares different stairway designs to see which are easier and safer for people with vision impairment. It will help identify features that make stairs more accessible.
This study tests a device called PAVE that may help improve vision in people who have lost part of their sight due to stroke, brain injury, or brain surgery. It is for those with ongoing vision problems, not those with eye diseases.
This study tests a new AI system designed to improve what people with visual prostheses 'see.' If you have an implanted device like the Argus II or Orion, you may be able to help by coming to the lab for several days of vision testing.
This trial tests whether virtual reality plus field (real-world) practice can improve walking and related thinking/vision skills after stroke. It may help you walk more safely and confidently in everyday community settings (like getting around outdoors).
