Reminder-cue Scanning Training for Visual Field Loss

This study is looking at a new way to help people with homonymous hemianopia or quadrantanopia (loss of vision on the same side in both eyes) scan better when driving. These conditions can make it hard to see things on the side where vision is lost. The study will test "reminder-cue scanning training," which uses sounds to remind you to look towards your blind spot. We want to see if this training helps people scan more effectively and detect hazards better. You might be able to join if you are at least 16 years old, have had visual field loss for at least 3 months, have good vision in both eyes, and have driving experience. The study aims to enroll 16 participants.

Study design
This is an interventional study that will include 16 participants. It will evaluate a behavioral training program.
What's involved
You will receive reminder-cue scanning training in a driving simulator over about three sessions within a two-week period. You will also complete evaluations in the driving simulator before and after the training.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Your ability to scan and detect hazards will be measured before training and again one week after training.
