Prof. Zihl entwickelte den computergestützten Behandlungsansatz erstmals 1988. Seither wurde das Training mit verschiedenen Modifikationen in 16 Studien mit insgesamt über 700 Menschen, die unter einem homonymen Gesichtsfeldverlust und dauerhaften Sehstörungen litten, verwendet.
Das Sakkadentraining verbessert die visuelle Suchleistung signifikant. Es entwickelt effizientere okulomotorische Strategien und verringert die Sehbehinderung im Alltag. Diese Verbesserungen werden durch standardisierte Fragebögen und Verhaltensmessungen eingeschätzt. Das Training umfasst Messungen zur Verbesserung des Orientierungssinns und des Findens von Gegenständen. Die Effizienz dieses Behandlungsansatzes ist höher als die anderer Therapieformen, wenn es darum geht, den visuellen Überblick und die visuelle Erkundung zu verbessern. Dies wurde in Vergleichen mit allgemeiner Lesepraxis (Schuett et al., 2012), nicht-spezifischem visuellen Training (Roth et al., 2009), standardmäßiger Ergotherapie (Mödden et al., 2012) oder allgemeiner Beratung zu Bewältigungsstrategien (Zihl, 2011) gezeigt. Bemerkenswert ist, dass die Zeit seit der Hirnschädigung (Zihl, 2011) und das Alter der Betroffenen (Schuett & Zihl, 2012) keinen wesentlichen Einfluss auf den Behandlungseffekt haben.
