Active clinical trials for "Vision, Low"

The aim of the study is to assess visual function from neonatal age to 36 months of age in infants at risk of visual impairment due to brain lesion or ocular pathology

The study will begin with an explanatory/training session where individuals with low vision will learn to use the V-NAV (Vortant NAVigation tool) indoor navigation app, and will have the opportunity to try it for a few representative tasks. The main activity includes a take-home trial, an extended unstructured period to emulate the post-purchase experience of users, during which participants will have the opportunity to use the V-NAV in their everyday lives. Data will be collected from the users to measure the relative advantage of V-NAV compared to the user's current indoor navigation method.

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of an immersive virtual-reality (IVR) based stimulation program, in improving visual perception for people who have lost their driver's license due to perceptual or cognitive impairments. The main questions it aims to answer are: Can the 6-week IVR stimulation program help improve driving performance? Will participants experience improvement in visual detection and perception after training? Study Design Summary: Participants will be randomized into a waitlist group or intervention-first group The VR-based intervention will consist of training every 2 days for six weeks Waitlist group will wait 6 weeks before starting intervention at study midpoint (week 7) Intervention-first group will begin with intervention (week 1-6) and then stop intervention at study midpoint Participants will complete tests related to driving performance, visual attention, and visual fields at the start of study, midpoint, and end of study Researchers will analyze data for changes from baseline in outcome measures.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of brolucizumab in treatment of patients with macular edema (ME) secondary to branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO).

This study was designed to confirm the efficacy and safety of laser photocoagulation as adjunctive therapy to ranibizumab 0.5 mg versus laser monotherapy in patients with visual impairment due to Diabetic Macular Edema. A subgroup of patients with Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy were included to evaluate the efficacy and safety of laser photocoagulation as adjunctive therapy to ranibizumab 0.5 mg versus laser monotherapy in this population.

Data from 15 healthy subjects will be recorded in two testing sessions spread on two days, using three lens designs (A, B and C). Before the measuring days, each subject will undergo an extra fitting session of a large-diameter scleral contact lens on the dominant eye, assessed by an experienced practitioner. The fitting data will be used to custom-make the three lens designs for each subject, thus ensuring their comfort and safety during the days of the experiments. During the experiment days baseline measurements will be obtained before and after pupil dilation and contact lens wear. During the first testing session data from the lens design A (reference lens without artificial iris) will be recorded. During the second testing session data from the lens designs B and C (lenses with artificial iris with different transmittances) will be recorded. In each testing session, contrast sensitivity and visual acuity will be evaluated and non-invasive imaging measurements will be undertaken (optical coherence tomography and slit lamp). A specific questionnaire will be given to the subject to assess comfort, light sensitivity, the horizontal visual angle and overall experience of the scleral lens and in combination with a pair of sunglasses category 3-4.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of brolucizumab in treatment of patients with macular edema (ME) secondary to central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO).

Age-related vision impairment and dementia both become more prevalent with increasing age. Research into the mechanisms of these conditions has proposed that some of their causes (e.g., macular degeneration/glaucoma and Alzheimer's disease) could be symptoms of an underlying common cause, or may be equally linked to a multifactorial context in frailty and aging. Research into sensory-cognitive aging has provided preliminary data that sensory decline may be linked to the progression of dementia through the concept of sensory deprivation. Preliminary data in hearing loss rehabilitation support the idea that improved hearing may have a beneficial effect on cognitive functioning; however, there are to date no data available to examine whether low vision rehabilitation, specifically for reading, could have an equally protective or beneficial effect on cognitive health. The present proposal aims to fill this gap.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of brolucizumab in treatment of Chinese patients with visual impairment due to Diabetic Macular Edema.

This study aims to compare the efficacy of an in-home telehealth-based intervention to standard care for children with cortical visual impairment and their caregivers and to assess the feasibility and acceptability of an in-home telehealth-based intervention approach for children with cortical visual impairment and their caregivers. This pilot study will utilize a randomized two group crossover design with assessment at 4 time periods. The assessments will occur at remote locations.
