Sponsor

University of South-Eastern Norway

Enrollment

52 participants

Start Date

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if vision training works to improve functional vision in people with visual field loss after stroke. The investigators want to know more about how people perceive their own functional vision and ability to compensate for visual field loss in daily activities. The main questions the study aims to answer are: * Does vision training improve dimensions of functional vision? * How does vision training affect the participants's perception of functional vision and the ability to compensate for visual field loss? Researchers will compare the effect of home-based vision training to standard care (no vision training) on functional vision. Participants will: * Participate in home-based vision training or standard care for 8 weeks * Be contacted once a week by phone * Keep a training diary
