Functional Assessment of Ultra-Low Vision

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility and validity of novel online tests of visual functioning that can be administered without the need for an in-person lab visit and then determine the degree to which those tests are predictive of visual functioning in daily life; specifically, for activities of daily living (ADL), in people across the spectrum of mild to severe low vision.
