Digital early help for babies at risk of vision problems
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision, Mental health, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a digital tool to help find and treat vision problems early in babies and young children who are at risk due to premature birth or brain issues. It may help improve their visual development.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby was born very early (at or before 32 weeks) OR had serious health problems right after birth (like low Apgar score).
- Your child has a confirmed visual impairment (moderate or severe) before the age of 3 and a half.
- Your child has had brain imaging (like an ultrasound or MRI) that shows something unusual, or they have three signs of brain issues on a special exam.
- Your child does not have a very severe form of epilepsy that is hard to control.
- You are able to understand the local language (for the study instructions).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This pilot study looks at early vision (what babies can see and how their eyes respond) in children who have risk factors for future “cerebral visual impairment,” meaning vision problems caused by the brain. It may help doctors spot issues earlier and better understand which early visual signs matter.
This study looks at how brain injuries or abnormalities affect vision in children. It aims to better understand and diagnose cerebral visual impairment (CVI), a vision problem caused by brain issues rather than eye problems.
This study looks at children who had ROP (an eye problem in premature babies) to see how their vision and the back of the eye (retina) develop over time. It compares children who received treatment with those who did not, to learn more about long-term effects.
This trial studies whether a “viewing strategy” training program can improve how children with visual impairment use their vision for learning and daily tasks. It looks at whether the training helps most when kids still struggle with visual processing.
This study looks for early signs of vision problems in babies who had brain injuries around the time of birth. It aims to help doctors better identify and predict these issues.
This study uses a video-based eye-tracking system to test how well children with special needs and typical preschoolers can see. It aims to find a friendly way to screen vision without asking children to read letters.
