An interventional study of Visual Information Training and Multimodal training in Low Vision Blindness, Visual Impairment and Quality of Life, sponsored by State University of New York College of Optometry. Recruiting at 1 site in United States. Open to participants aged 12 Years to 99 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2025-12-11.
Sponsored by State University of New York College of Optometry · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
This research is aimed to address one of the big gaps in the current vision rehabilitation protocols for people with profound visual impairment by evaluating a multisensory approach. There are a growing number of clinical trials that recruit people with end-stage eye diseases and the rehabilitation plan following various treatments is not clear. It is important to address this in order to maximize the efficacy of such treatments and to improve the quality of life in people with profound visual impairment.
360 studies on the registry are indexed under Vision Disorders; 84 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 36 is below the median of 78 across 244 interventional studies indexed under Vision Disorders.

Exclusion Criteria:
Behavioral: Visual Information Training
Behavioral: Multimodal training
Participants in this arm will receive training to improve the use of residual vision to enhance functional performance.
Participants in this arm will receive training in integrating input from different senses to enhance functional performance.
Change in visual ability
Change in visual ability as measured by the Ultra Low Vision Visual Function Questionnaire. The scale measures both visual ability (Person Measure) and difficulty (Item Measure) in people with ultra low vision. 150 items on a likert scale ranging from 1 impossible, to 4 not difficult. Using a Rasch-Andrich rating model, Person Measures range from -6 to +2.8 logits, Item Measures range from -3.3 to +3.0 logits. Higher scores indicating better outcome.
Time frame: Baseline, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months
Change in hand-eye coordination
Change in hand eye coordination as assessed by a leap motion (Ultra Leap) sensor taped to a Virtual Reality headset to track hand eye coordination.
Time frame: Baseline, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months
Change in hearing ability
Change in hearing ability as assessed by iHEARtest device (earphones, computer application). The participant presses the space bar on their computer keyboard every time they hear a sound. The iHEARtest provides a Hearing Number™ in each ear on a scale from 1=profound impairment, to 5= no impairment.
Time frame: Baseline, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months
