Is eccentric viewing training still a valuable tool in low vision rehabilitation?
Host Erika Andersen Ko talks with Dr. Michael Crossland, optometrist, professor, researcher, and one of the lead authors of the EFFECT study—the first randomized controlled trial evaluating eccentric viewing training.
They examine the study's unexpected findings and what they may mean for clinical practice and patient selection.
In this episode:
- The role of therapeutic alliance and "connective labor" in outcomes
- Why the EFFECT study found no significant improvements in any group
- How clinicians are rethinking selection criteria for eccentric viewing training
- The link between fixation stability and real-world functional tasks
