This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing biofeedback training—a program that teaches your eyes to move in new ways to compensate for vision loss on one side of your visual field. The training focuses on helping you read better and move your eyes more effectively after a brain injury like a stroke, surgery, or trauma. Researchers want to see if this targeted eye movement practice can help restore some of your visual function and improve your daily life.
Many people who survive strokes or brain injuries lose vision on one side, which makes reading nearly impossible and slows down their overall recovery. Most rehabilitation centers don't offer vision-specific training because doctors once thought this type of vision loss was permanent, but newer research shows that the brain can sometimes learn to compensate with the right practice.

If you're selected for the treatment group, you'll receive biofeedback training—a series of sessions where you'll practice specific eye movements while getting real-time feedback to help you improve. You'll complete vision tests and assessments before and after the training to measure any changes in your reading ability, vision, and quality of life. If you're in the comparison group, you'll complete the same tests but won't receive the training during this phase; however, you may have the option to try the training later.
