Eye Recovery Automation for Post Injury Dysfunction (iRAPID)
Eye Recovery Automation for Post Injury Dysfunction
About This Trial
This study will test a portable virtual reality (VR) system with integrated eye tracking called Virtual Eye Rotation Vision Exercises (VERVE). The proposed VERVE platform will deliver vergence therapy in an automated manner. This research will involve 30 non-traumatic brain injury (TBI) binocularly normal (BNC) Veterans and 50 post-traumatic convergence insufficiency (PTCI) Veterans who will undergo Active and Sham therapy (equally divided groups) to determine the effectiveness of VERVE vergence therapy.

Treatments Being Tested
Virtual Eye Rotation Vision Exercise (VERVE)
VERVE utilizes a virtual reality (VR) headset with integrated eye-tracking where the patient makes specific vergence eye movements by playing a VR game controlled by eye movements. Participants will be making convergence and divergence eye movements as steps and ramps.
Sham VR Therapy
VERVE game without changes in eye movement demands. Maximizing gameplay with no intervention.
