Researchers Have Developed A New Treatment For Patients With Blindness Associated With Brain Injury Often Caused By Stroke. The computer-delivered therapy called NeuroEyeCoach is designed to improve speed and effectiveness of eye movements to better compensate for the visual field loss. NeuroEyeCoach can be viewed as being the first evidence-based registered medical device accessible to patients at home…
