IVIS was a research programme with 4 objectives. 1. Identify different questionnaires available for people to tell us about their visual problems and identify different treatments available for eye movement problems. 2. Determine how frequently visual problems occur and what happens over time. 3. Identify issues faced by stroke survivors relating to visual problems. 4. Plan trials of treatments for eye movement problems following stroke. Core outcome sets for stroke/vision screening and assessment: Protocol link.
This study addressed four key questions. 1. How much unmet need is there in post-stroke vision services? 2. Is there a clear care pathway for vision care in stroke survivors? 3. What are the variations in post stroke vision care, and how might they be addressed? 4. What is best practice in post stroke vision care, and where are examples of where such care is implemented?

We aimed to establish three core outcome sets relevant to the treatment of amblyopia, strabismus and ocular motility disorders which primarily reflect the interests of patients but also clinicians, researchers and commissioners in order to facilitate decision-making by all stakeholders. Our research question was 'what are the core outcome measures deemed valid and important by patients, but also deemed relevant to healthcare providers?' Specific objectives were to 1) identify a list of outcomes previously reported by researchers and clinicians in studies of the treatment of amblyopia, strabismus and ocular motility disorders from a systematic review of the literature, determine the heterogeneity of outcome definitions, the number of differing measuring instruments used and the specific ways in which they differ, 2) identify outcomes from the perspective of patients in order to augment the list generated from (1), 3) determine the most appropriate method of measurement for each important outcome, 'how' the outcome is measured and 'when' to determine the outcome, and 4) prioritise and reach consensus regarding the most important outcomes from the perspectives of patients and clinicians into a core outcome set - the 'what'.
