| Primary outcomes | Change in best corrected binocular visual acuity (logMAR or Snellen chart) |
| Secondary outcomes | Estimated visual acuity using visual evoked potentials and/or nystagmus acuity functions such as NAFX Eye movement recordings using any available technique (e.g. video recording, infrared limbal tracker, electro‐oculography). Amplitude (mean and minimum); intensity; foveation time; position (mean, minimum mean in foveation window, standard deviation); velocity (mean, minimum mean in foveation window, standard deviation); null zone position and width. Head posture measured in degrees Visual recognition times Patient satisfaction and functional measurements (using validated questionnaires e.g. VFQ‐25) Economic data and cost analysis data |
| Adverse outcomes | Adverse effects (minor or major: reduction in visual acuity and blindness; double vision; cognitive effects; death) |
| Additional data | Treatment compliance and losses to follow‐up |
