-
Functional visual field and navigation testing for moderate-to-profound inherited retinal disease
This project will test whether functional visual field and navigation tests can measure real-world vision and mobility in people with moderate-to-profound inherited retinal diseases.
-
Natural history of inherited retinal diseases
This project will test whether color vision problems relate to retinal structure and visual function in people with inherited retinal dystrophies and in people without retinal disease.
-
Assessing vision measurement methods for patients with retinal degeneration
This study is testing different ways to measure vision in people with retinal degeneration to see how their eyesight affects daily life and how it changes over time.
-
Disulfiram (Antabuse) for vision in retinal degeneration
This study will test whether taking oral disulfiram (Antabuse) improves vision in adults with retinal degeneration who are also being treated for alcohol use disorder.
-
Identifying patients for cone optogenetics vision restoration
This study is trying to find out how many people with inherited vision problems have cone cells that could be revived to help restore their sight, using special eye imaging techniques.
-
Evaluating pupil response to light in patients with retinal conditions
This study is testing a new way to check vision by measuring how pupils respond to light in people with retinal conditions like glaucoma to see if it’s better than current methods.
