About this trial

Reading performance in patients with Central Vision Loss will be measured with and without missing text being remapped to different parts of the visual field in a variety of different reading tasks.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Dense bilateral scotomas of at least 2 deg diameter in each eye covering the fovea

Bivariate contour ellipse area (BCEA) of less than 10² is obtained in a simple fixation task

Disqualifiers

Neovascular AMD

Any history of visual disorders other than that causing the central vision loss.

Trial design

Design model

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Personalised Remapping Training

    Behavioral

    Participants will receive training across multiple days with text being shifted in real time as it is being read from locations covered by scotoma to locations determined by personalization procedure .

  • RSVP personalized remappi

    Behavioral

    Participants will read one word at a time presented in rapid succession at fixation with text being shifted from scotoma locations to locations determined by personalization procedure.

  • Reading text in the wild with remapping

    Behavioral

    Participants will read short texts presented in natural scenes in virtual reality with text being shifted from scotoma locations to locations determined by personalization procedure.

Treatment groups

100 Participants
are divided into 3 treatment groups
Group A: Perceptual LearningExperimental treatment 1 intervention
Group B: Rapid Serial Visual PresentationExperimental treatment 1 intervention
Group C: Reading in The WildExperimental treatment 1 intervention
