Visual Restoration for Hemianopia

A computer software and chin-rest necessary to perform visual training will be loaned to each patient to use at home. They will perform one to two daily training sessions in their home, consisting of 200-300 trials each. The visual task performed repetitively will involve discriminating the direction of motion of a small cloud of dots located at a pre-determined location in the blind field. The computer program will automatically create a record of patient performance during each home training session. They will train daily (about 40-60 minutes total), 5 to 7 days per week, for at least 24 weeks.

The visual task performed repetitively will involve discriminating the direction of motion of a small cloud of dots located at a pre-determined location in the intact field of vision.
