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…
Many of those who have had a stroke or other brain injury will experience vision problems, but often they will not realise they have a visual field deficit. Their brains may adjust to process visual information coming from the seeing part of their visual field and then be surprised to encounter objects in the blind…
NovaVision offers two different therapy programs for rehabilitation of neurological vision loss – NeuroEyeCoach and Vision Restoration Therapy (VRT) – which we provide in a single therapy suite for €900. These therapies do different things, and in this blog we explain why it makes the most sense to do both these therapies, one after the…
A stroke occurs every five minutes in the UK where there are approximately 1.2 million stroke survivors(ref), and around 348,000 people are admitted to hospital with a brain injury each year(ref). Up to 60% of people who have a stroke will experience some kind of vision disorder. Vision disorders can come in the form of…
Recently we posted about our recent NeuroEyeCoach study and what the press had to say about it. Today we would like to share our patient Anita’s experience with NeuroEyeCoach therapy. We hope that Anita’s story will encourage you to evaluate NeuroEyeCoach more closely as many patients have benefited from it and should be considered as the next step towards…
