Hemianopia, refers to the loss of vision in either the entire left or right half of the visual field. Common causes of this condition include stroke side effects, brain tumors, and traumatic injuries. This vision loss can lead to various challenges in daily life, such as difficulty with movement, accidental collisions with objects, increased risk of falls, unexpected mishaps, and struggles with reading.
Findings from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (1988-1994) revealed that 1 out of every 1000 individuals examined had Hemianopia. Moreover, approximately one-third of individuals undergoing stroke rehabilitation experience either homonymous Hemianopia or spatial neglect.

Intervention
The Peli Lens™ stands out as the latest and most effective prism technique, offering a significantly wider stroke visual expansion field compared to other options: originally 20˚ and now an expanded 30˚ in the latest design. These advancements are supported by clinical trials.
Vision therapy focusing on training for scanning.
Based on clinical studies, patient success rates, the expansion characteristics of the stroke visual field, and cost-effectiveness, the Peli Lens™ emerges as the primary choice for most individuals with Hemianopia. However, the other methods mentioned remain viable alternatives should the patient not adapt well to the Peli Lens™.

A person with Hemianopia, having vision only on the left side of both eyes, might easily stumble upon a hidden obstacle, like a trash bin, since it’s not visible within their blind field. If there were a way to signal the presence of such obstacles in the blind field, they could be avoided.
The “EP” or Expansion Prism system
The “EP” system aims to assist in identifying obstacles, particularly during movement, rather than serving as a tool for reading support. The fitting process for the patient is straightforward and economical, following the provided fitting protocol and making necessary adjustments while the patient walks during training. After this, the patient is sent home to make further adjustments for approximately one month.

Testimonial about Our Vision Rehabilitation CLICK HERE
Born with strabismus, the author had several surgeries as a child that initially improved their condition. However, during adolescence, their eye turn worsened due to stress and affected their self-esteem. A botched surgery in adulthood further worsened their condition, causing double vision and limited eye movement. After discovering Vision Therapy, they began treatment which was initially slow but eventually led to significant improvements. The author wishes they had been taught resilience, self-worth, and trust in non-invasive healing methods earlier in life. They are grateful for the support from professionals and communities dealing with similar challenges.
Achromatopsia (ACHM) is total color blindness caused by genetic changes in retinal cones, leading to blurry vision, light sensitivity, and lack of color perception.
