Peli prism for hemianopia

Peli prism uses high-powered prisms (40 Dioptre) that expand a hemianopic patient's awareness of their blind side. This awareness enables patients to better detect obstacles and navigate around them. Effect of the prism considered as temporary We investigated whether the effect persists after the prism is removed.To understand the persistence of the effect, we examined the changes in the visual field with CVF (Computerized visual field examination)before the prism was applied, with the prism and 1 week after the prism was removed.
