What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Background: The retina is a thin layer of tissue at the back of the eye. Retinal disease usually reduces a person s mobility because it affects how he or she moves through familiar and unfamiliar environments. Researchers want to see if a virtual reality (VR) tool can provide an easier and more accurate way to assess mobility. Objective: To learn if researchers can track changes in mobility in people with retinal disease using a new VR tool. Eligibility: People aged 5 and older with retinal disease that affects their vision, and healthy volunteers. Design: Participants will have 2-3 clinic visits. Participants will wear goggles or sit in front of a screen while sitting. Using a game controller, they will navigate through 4 obstacle courses presented in VR. Participants will have a medical history exam. They will answer questions about their family history. They will fill out que
