NovaVision® Vision Restoration Therapy (VRT) is a home-based program performed in the comfort of your home on a computer device. During a 30-minute session, you will focus on a central point on the device screen and respond whenever you see a light stimulus appear. The light stimuli positions are custom created by NovaVision according to your area of visual field loss that has a high improvement potential. Every month we receive the results of the therapy and our clinicians will analyze the data and customize the individual therapy adjustments to the achieved progress. Generally it is recommended that patients complete 6 months of twice-daily therapy, however, everyone responds differently to therapy.
As any type of rehabilitation, after a stroke or brain injury, regular practice is important and with Vision Restoration Therapy a patient can actually enhance visual field loss if done persistently by an average of 5°. In a retrospective study, 88% of VRT patients have mentioned receiving at least one significant benefit as a result of performing VRT, such as improved reading, mobility, and social comfortability¹. VRT can help recover Hemianopia, Quadrantanopia and, Scotoma type of vision loss, which are common after a stroke or TBI.
