Defined as low vision or blindness in a portion of the visual field, hemianopia and quadrantanopia (especially homonymous hemianopia) are common among brain injury survivors. Fortunately, hemianopia rehabilitation can effectively restore a person’s visual acuity and ability to successfully perform the activities of daily life.
A scotoma (visual field loss) is a type of vision loss that can occur after a stroke or a brain injury. An area of darkness, lightness, blurriness, or other type of diminished vision, a scotoma can inhibit a person’s ability to live a normal life. NovaVision Vision Restoration Therapy helps stroke and brain injury victims regain as much of their vision as possible.
