Visual Telerehabilitation in AMD Patients

NCT04685824 · Status: TERMINATED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 16

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Following the degeneration of the macula and the loss of central vision, the patients naturally relocate the fixation point for high visual acuity peripherally, in an eccentric and healthy part of the retina (PRL), to compensate for visual impairments. However, in many cases, the PRL lands on a sub-optimal retinal area and becomes useless. Modern low-vision rehabilitation procedures for AMD patients include biofeedback training (BFT) to relocate the PRL to a healthy retinal patch and acquire better fixation skills. This study seeks to combine BFT with home-based immersive virtual-reality audiovisual stimulation and measure feasibility and potential effectiveness on oculomotor control and visual perception.
