What this trial studies

This research aims to fill a significant gap in vision rehabilitation for individuals with profound visual impairment by evaluating a multi-sensory approach. The study will focus on developing a rehabilitation program that incorporates visual information training and multimodal training to enhance functional vision. By addressing the rehabilitation needs of patients with ultra low vision, the study seeks to improve their quality of life and maximize the efficacy of existing treatments for end-stage eye diseases.
