We are back this month with a testimonial from our patient John. He had to overcome some hurdles before beginning VRT but at the end it was all worth it. We are happy to hear that our therapies have had a significant improvement in his activities of daily life. Here is John’s testimonial:
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…

The computer-delivered therapy is designed to improve speed and effectiveness of eye movements to better compensate for visual field loss. The program called NeuroEyeCoach™can be considered to be the first evidence based registered medical device accessible to patients at home or in clinical settings. Published in academic journal Biomed Research International, is a report of…
We have mentioned in previous blog posts that vision loss after a stroke or other brain injury can often go unnoticed. Although some of this can be attributed to patients and doctors alike focusing on more threatening health issues after these traumatic events, it can often also be ascribed to the fact that patients have…
Patients who have recently experienced a stroke or brain injury will often tell their physicians that they are having difficulty seeing out of one eye. Although certain conditions may mimic this sensation, visual problems that occur after a stroke or brain injury are not typically a result of damage to your eyes at all. More…
Our previous blog The Eyes – Our Window To The World discussed the structure of our eye and how it works. In this blog, we discuss how the brain, in processing the information the eye is seeing, sometimes “fools” us into perceiving things differently to reality. This is very normal in everyday life but can…
We get the most knowledge of our surroundings through our eyes; they convey more than any of our other senses. Every second the eyes absorb 10 million pieces of information and pass it on to the brain. Our vision adapts to different light conditions at cyber speed, refocusing within fractions of a second and distinguishing…
Retinal detachment is rare; nonetheless: retinal detachment can have considerable consequences for the eyesight and daily living, and this recently happened to one of our NovaVision colleagues. We are taking this as an opportunity to inform you about this disease and its first signs. If diagnosed in time, there are very good treatment options and…
