Rehabilitation is an essential part of the recovery process after a stroke so it’s important to investigate the options to help you to choose what’s right for you. Technology can play a major role in the recovery of stroke patients, including those with vision loss. Indeed, NovaVision’s computer based therapies can help patients regain some…
In our last blog “What is a visual field test?“ we have explained how a visual field examination is done using a perimeter. Today we will analyze the differences between a visual field test using static perimetry and our online-visual field screening and reveal why the online test does not replace the examination by a doctor.
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…
