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.

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.

Nystagmus, characterized by involuntary, rapid eye movements, is a notable vision disorder in Malaysian children, especially prevalent among those with Down syndrome. Symptoms like light sensitivity, balance issues, and blurred vision can impact daily life. While there’s no cure, Neuro Vision Specialist in Malaysia offers innovative treatments, including specialized glasses and eye movement control techniques, to manage its effects and improve quality of life.
In the interconnected system of the human body, the relationship between the eyes, brain, neck, and posture is a crucial yet often overlooked aspect. This intricate interplay starts with our eyes capturing visual information, which is then processed by the brain. This process influences the neck muscles, impacting our posture. Neglecting this connection can lead to issues like neck strain and poor posture, especially in our digital age of prolonged screen time. Understanding and nurturing this eye-brain-neck axis, possibly with the help of neuro-optometry, is vital for maintaining our overall well-being and physical health.
Your new passive treatment lens is designed for more than just clear vision; it’s part of a passive therapy to realign your visual system. It’s normal for your eyes and brain to need time to adjust, which can take a few days to a few weeks. If you experience any discomfort during this period, remember it’s a part of the adaptation process. For any concerns, contact your eye care professional. Patience is key as you embark on this journey towards improved visual health.
