Description
Patricia Grant led a 2026 evaluation of a self-guided eye movement training program for adults who have lost central vision. Thirty-three people with retinal disease and a documented blind spot in central vision enrolled, training two hours a week for eight weeks. Twenty-five trained in a clinic, while eight used the same platform at home.
Reading speed, measured with standard low vision charts, rose by about 23 words per minute on average, a gain near 55 percent. Home users improved about as much as clinic users, which suggests the program can reach people who cannot travel for rehabilitation. Vision, mood, and self-reported function were also tracked before and after training.
