Study Summary
Low vision patients have difficulty acquiring sufficient visual information in a timely manner for the purpose of performing challenging daily tasks, such as traveling independently and safely through busy streets. The advance of virtual reality techniques has provided a potential platform for training low vision patients to use their remaining vision more efficiently, but the key issue is always whether the patient's visual experiences in a virtual world can be transferred to the real world. The proposed study is designed to provide definite answer to this question.
Primary Outcome
The percentage of dangerous street crossing decisions is determined at real street corners during pre- and post-training evaluation sessions. The subject is asked to say "GO" when she feels it is the safest time to cross the street. A crossing decision is scored as dangerous if it is initiated in the red traffic light cycle or if there is \< 25% of the "WALK" cycle left. The percentage is the total number of dangerous decisions divided by the total number of crossing decisions made during one ev
