"This trial aims to improve vision rehabilitation for people with severe visual impairment by testing a new approach that involves multiple senses. Many clinical trials are recruiting participants with advanced eye diseases, but the best rehabilitation plan after

Who is the study for?

This trial is for individuals with ultra low vision, meaning their visual acuity is at or below 20/1600. It's designed to help improve their quality of life by testing a new rehabilitation program.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests a multi-sensory rehabilitation program that includes Visual Information Training and Multimodal training, aiming to fill the gap in current treatments for those with profound visual impairment.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves non-invasive training programs rather than medication, traditional side effects are not expected; however, participants may experience fatigue or frustration during the learning process.
