Head-mounted Visual Assistive Technology-related Quality of Life Changes after Telerehabilitation.

ABSTRACT:

Significance

Head-mounted low vision devices have become a viable alternative to enhance residual vision. This study supports the use of a head-mounted display to improve aspects of functional vision and quality of life. Much is still unknown regarding the required frequency, duration, or potential effectiveness of this telerehabilitation training protocol or what characteristics best identify optimal users.

Purpose

A randomized study explored the effect of telerehabilitation on quality of life and functional vision in individuals with low vision using a head-mounted display.

Methods

We recruited 57 participants (age, 21 to 82 years; mean, 54.5 years) among new prospective eSight Eyewear users, randomized 1:1 into two parallel groups; the experimental group received t
