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 where you practice eye movements and visual tasks on a computer screen—to help people who have lost vision on one side of their visual field due to brain injury. About half of stroke survivors experience this type of vision loss, which makes reading and everyday navigation difficult. The study wants to see whether 5 weeks of guided training can help your eyes work better and improve your quality of life.
Most people with this type of vision loss struggle to adapt and continue having trouble reading and moving their eyes smoothly. Currently, very few rehabilitation centers offer vision retraining programs, partly because doctors used to think this kind of vision loss was permanent. Recent research suggests that the brain may be able to relearn and compensate with proper training, so this trial exists to test whether a structured biofeedback approach can help.

If you join this study, you will be placed in one of two groups. One group will attend 5 weeks of biofeedback training sessions, with each session lasting 20 minutes and performed on a specialized eye-tracking device called a microperimeter—you'll be guided through visual exercises designed to retrain your eye movements and help you see better. The other group will complete the same assessment tests as the first group but will not receive training during the study period, allowing researchers to compare outcomes between the two approaches.
