Overview
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.
Interventions
- Behavioral Visual Information Training
Participants in this arm will receive training to improve the use of residual vision to enhance functional performance. - Behavioral Multimodal training
Participants in this arm will receive training in integrating input from different senses to enhance functional performance.
Primary outcome measures
- Change in visual ability [Time frame: Baseline, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months]
Secondary outcome measures (2)
- Change in hand-eye coordination [Time frame: Baseline, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months]
- Change in hearing ability [Time frame: Baseline, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months]
