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:
Participants will:
AIM:
The overall aim is to obtain knowledge about the effects of compensatory visual rehabilitation strategies on functional vision in people with stroke who do not meet the health prerequisites for visual field, as defined in the Driving licences regulations in Norway. Specifically, to describe the effect on functional vision and the compensatory vision strategies related to traffic situations. Secondary, to explore markers for perceived functional vision and functional visual field that may predict an effect of visual rehabilitation.
DESIGN:
The study will be performed as an open, controlled and randomized trial with semi-cross-over design. The participants will be allocated to an immediate- or delayed intervention following a pre-randomized list. The participants are allocated to immediate intervention (Fast track; Group A) will be investigated at baseline, after 8 and 20 weeks. The remaining participant are allocated to delayed intervention (Delayed start; Group B) will start the intervention 8 weeks after the baseline and investigated at baseline, week 8, week 20 and week 28.
SETTING /RECRUITMENT The study sample will consist of adults with post-stroke visual field defects. All the three sub-studies will have the same study sample.

The study has a semi-cross over randomisation design. The study will use mixed methods; a qualitative interview study pre- and post-intervention, and an interventional vision rehabilitation study using different quantitative measurements on three or four time points (Baseline, 8 and 20 weeks (Fast track, group A) or Baseline, 8, 16 and 28 weeks (Delayed start, group B). All participants will receive the intervention.
Fast track, group A: Fast track participants will receive the intervention immediately after baseline assessments. The intervention are 8 weeks of home-based training exercises for eye movement-, visual scanning-, and visual search exercises to learn compensatory strategies for visual field loss. The investigators will use a licensed online vision training program (Vision Builder) and manual paper-based exercises. Daily vision training will consist of 20 minutes with total minimum recommended training 2h/week for 8 weeks.

| Pre/post-intervention changes in quality of life among stroke survivors with visual field defects |
Pre-/post-intervention changes in self-reported Euroqol -item QoL scale (EQ5D). The EQ-5D-5L includes five dimensions with a level score from 1 (= no problems) to 5 (= Extreme problems / Unable to perform) resulting in a 5-digit health state, which describes their current health. Another scoring option is to report a utility score (index value) where the health state is converted into a country-specific value set range from 1.000 (perfect health) to 0.000 (death). Results may also be presented as level sum score across all five dimensions with minimum score: 5 (best health: 11111), maximum score: 25 (worst health: 55555). Higher scores indicate worse health. The VAS scale rate overall health on a scale from 0 (worst imaginable) to 100 (best imaginable). |
| Baseline, post-intervention (8 weeks) and long-term effect 12 weeks post-intervention (20-weeks) for both groups. |
| Pre/post-intervention changes in Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) | The COPM is used to identify up to five self-perceived problems related to activity performance. It assesses both performance and satisfaction with performance across these activities. Scoring is based on two scales: Performance score: ranges from 1 to 10, where a higher score indicates better performance. Satisfaction score: ranges from 1 to 10, where a higher score indicates greater satisfaction with performance.Total performance score: sum of scores across all identified activities (range: 1-50). Total satisfaction score: sum of satisfaction ratings across all identified activities (range: 1-50). Mean scores: dividing the total score by the number of activities rated. Changes in both mean performance and mean satisfaction scores from baseline to follow-up are used to evaluate the impact of the intervention. | Baseline, post-intervention (8 weeks) and 12 weeks post-intervention (20 weeks). |
| Pre/post-intervention vision function (fixation stability) tests measured with BulbiCAM | Changes in vision functions (fixation stability in mm) pre/post-intervention measured with BulbiCAM. Two measurements with one hour between tests each time | Two measurements (1 hour between assessments) at baseline, post-intervention (8 weeks) (post-intervention group A, post-control/pre-intervention group B) and a final measurement (long-term effect) 12 weeks after intervention (20 weeks after baseline). |
| Pre/post-intervention vision function (saccades) tests measured with BulbiCAM | Changes in saccades measured in latency ms pre/post-intervention measured with BulbiCAM. Two measurements with one hour between tests each time | Two measurements (1 hour between assessments) at baseline, post-intervention (8 weeks) (post-intervention group A, post-control/pre-intervention group B) and a final measurement (long-term effect) 12 weeks after intervention (20 weeks after baseline). |
| Pre/post-intervention changes in BIVI-IQ score | The Brain Injury assosiated Visual Impairment Questionnaire (BIVI-IQ) is developed to assess the impact of brain injury associated visual impairment on an individual's vision-related quality of life by 15 questions. Level sum score 0-3 on each question. A higher score indicates greater impact and more difficulty. | Baseline, post-intervention (8 weeks) and long term-effect 12 weeks post-intervention (20 weeks) for both groups |
