Call for Participants: Guidance Path Research Study for People with Sight Loss
Updated: Sep 24
In partnership with Moorfields and UCL Centre for Eye Health, UCL PEARL is conducting research to define the specification for a tactile/visual route indicator to help guide people from St Pancras International station to the new centre. The new centre will be opening to patients in summer 202
We are recruiting people over the age of 18 who either have:
· Peripheral vision loss and use a long cane
· A medical retinal condition and use a long cane
· Cataract
The study will be on the 7th and 8th of October 2026 at UCL PEARL, and participants will be compensated £50 per day. The study is expected to require approximately 2 hours over one day.

The study’s focus on understanding people’s experiences and improving guidance services is a meaningful approach to research. I appreciate initiatives that listen directly to participants and use their feedback to shape better support. On a separate practical note, a Bag Washer can simplify reusable bag cleaning at home.
