Description
Mariana Saiz Briceno and four co-authors map the evidence on technology-assisted therapies that help people with impaired vision use their remaining sight better. Their scoping review came out in 2026. More than two billion people live with vision impairment, yet only a minority can access rehabilitation services.
Twenty-five studies from a decade of literature met their rules, mostly from wealthy countries. Interventions included video-based remote therapy, portable electronic aids, virtual reality systems, artificial vision devices, and smart sensors. Reported gains covered visual function, independence, and quality of life, with high satisfaction and adherence. Remote delivery looked viable and cost-effective. The authors note that most studies are small, so larger and more geographically diverse trials are still needed.
