NovaVision® Vision Restoration Therapy (VRT)- Stroke or Traumatic Brain Injury Vision Rehabilitation
NovaVision® Vision Restoration Therapy (VRT) is based on the most advanced research in neuroplasticity. VRT is an FDA-cleared, patented, non-invasive medical device that may reduce vision loss after stroke or traumatic brain injury (TBI). While speech, physical and occupational therapies are the long-standing treatments for survivors of stroke and TBI, Vision Restoration Therapy is the first FDA-cleared clinical application of stroke or traumatic brain injury vision rehabilitation.
Vision loss prevents patients from engaging in many normal day-to-day activities. In a recent retrospective study, more than 70 percent of patients who completed VRT showed measurable improvements in their vision that enhanced their quality of life.
The Science behind Vision Restoration Therapy
Vision Restoration Therapy activates the brain’s proven self-repair capability - neuroplasticity -by using stimulation to restore vision.
Patented technology allows precise diagnosis of vision loss after stroke or TBI, individualized vision rehabilitation therapy, and prompt, effective analysis. The therapy involves no surgery and no medication. For approximately one hour each day, patients perform the at-home vision restoration therapy using a VRT medical device in prescribed time intervals based on their individual needs and abilities. This is done for an initial period of six to seven months. Therapy updates are sent on a monthly basis to optimize patient progress.
