Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this explorative study, targeting subjects with homonymous visual field loss, is threefold:

(i) to identify the perimetric / psychophysical method, that is most closely correlated with an individually assessed quality of life (QoL) score, using a validated questionnaire (NEI-VFQ 25) (ii) to determine, whether gaze-related (exploratory eye movements) or visual field-related (eyes steadily fixating) parameters are better for the characterization of the visual capacities that are necessary for activities of daily living (ADL), as represented by (iia) a standardized visual search task ("supermarket special offer search task") (iib) by an on-road car driving pilot study.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

\- Patients with homonymous visual field defects Primary inclusion criterion: (Stable) homonymous visual field defects, as obtained by binocular semi-automated kinetic perimetry (SKP), using the III4e stimulus, within on onset of at least six months ago, due to a vascular or a traumatic lesion.


(ii) Ophthalmological: spherical ametropia max. ± 8 dpt, cylindrical ametropia max. ± 3 dpt, best corrected distant visual acuity \> 6/12 (= 0.5), isocoria, pupil diameter \> 3 mm, intraocular pressure ≤ 21 mmHg, normal anterior segments, no clinically relevant media opacities, normal appearance of the optic disc (cup to disc ratio = CDR ≤ 0.5, intraocular difference of CDR \< 0.3).
