Age-related vision impairment and dementia both become more prevalent with increasing age. Research into the mechanisms of these conditions has proposed that some of their causes (e.g., macular degeneration/glaucoma and Alzheimer's disease) could be symptoms of an underlying common cause, or may be equally linked to a multifactorial context in frailty and aging. Research into sensory-cognitive aging has provided preliminary data that sensory decline may be linked to the progression of dementia through the concept of sensory deprivation. Preliminary data in hearing loss rehabilitation support the idea that improved hearing may have a beneficial effect on cognitive functioning; however, there are to date no data available to examine whether low vision rehabilitation, specifically for reading, could have an equally protective or beneficial effect on cognitive health. The present proposal aims to fill this gap.
NCT04483882
The purpose of this study is an evaluation of a tactile labeling strategy developed in the Ophthalmology Clinical Research Center at University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) in collaboration with the UTMB Maker Space to improve low vision patients capability to identify their topical ophthalmic drop treatments and the frequency with which they should be administered. The labeling strategy includes protrusions as frequency markers and shapes to differentiate between treatments of similar frequency prescription.
