Virtual reality test for visual distortions
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study tests whether a virtual reality (VR) tool can help detect and measure visual distortions (like wavy or bent lines) in people with certain eye conditions. It may offer a more precise way to monitor these changes compared to traditional tests.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 18 years of age or older.
- Have no visual distortions (confirmed with a normal Amsler grid test), or have visual distortions and one of these conditions: epiretinal membrane, age-related macular degeneration, central serous retinopathy, diabetic macular edema, or cystoid macular edema.
- Be an ophthalmology resident, staff member, or physician at NYU Langone Health.
- Not have an eye problem that prevents a clear view of the back of the eye for standard imaging.
- Have vision better than 20/70 in your best-seeing eye.
- Have no motor problems in your arms or hands that would affect using the VR equipment.

This early-stage study uses virtual reality tasks to check how well a person can move and function using their eyesight. It may help researchers measure vision abilities in a way that could guide future care for retinal disease.
This trial tests whether a virtual reality device can accurately measure your field of vision compared to standard tests. If you have primary open-angle glaucoma and can perform a visual field test, you may be able to participate.
This study tests whether virtual reality tests can measure vision problems caused by age-related macular degeneration (AMD). It includes people with different stages of AMD, from early to advanced, as well as healthy adults, to see how well the tests work for each group.
This trial studies whether a virtual reality (VR) eye test can measure a child’s vision field (where they can see) instead of standard testing. It may help clinics test children in a more comfortable way, especially if traditional tests are hard for kids.
This study is testing a virtual reality test to help people with low vision who are starting or have started rehabilitation. The goal is to see how well the test works for different types of vision loss.
This trial tests a virtual reality (VR) therapy for adults with lazy eye (amblyopia) caused by a difference in prescription between the two eyes. It uses special glasses to train your eyes to work together, which may improve vision.
