Study to Develop a Multi-sensory Rehabilitation Program for People With Ultra Low Vision to Improve Visual and Functional Abilities

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are exploring a new multisensory rehabilitation approach for people with profound visual impairment, particularly those with ultra low vision. This study aims to fill gaps in current vision rehabilitation methods after treatments for end-stage eye diseases, aiming to improve functional abilities and quality of life for participants. The trial is interventional and evaluates two types of training programs designed to enhance sensory integration and residual vision use. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two training programs. One group receives Visual Information Training focused on improving the use of remaining vision to support daily activities. The other group undergoes Multimodal Training that teaches how to combine information from multiple senses to boost functional performance. Both trainings are behavioral interventions delivered during the study. Throughout the study, participants will be assessed at the start, and then after 1, 3, and 6 months to measure changes in visual ability, hand-eye coordination, and hearing ability. These assessments help track how well the training supports sensory function and overall visual performance. The study runs until July 2026, with ongoing evaluations to understand the impact of these rehabilitation strategies.
