Vision Loss after Brain Injury or Stroke – Treatment from NovaVision

Neuroplasticity – the Science of Stroke or Traumatic Brain Injury Vision Rehabilitation
Neuroplasticity, the brain’s ability to grow and change well into adulthood, is the basis of stroke and traumatic brain injury vision rehabilitation. Neuroplasticity involves physical changes in the brain and can be unlocked by training the brain in precise, consistent ways.
Types of Vision Loss
After a stroke or a brain injury, visual field deficits may emerge, including hemianopia and quadrantanopia (partial loss of the visual field), scotoma (blind spots), and low vision. Luckily, NovaVision Vision Restoration Therapy is increasingly effective in helping people recover their vision.
Homonymous Hemianopsia / Hemianopia, Quadrantanopia, and Their Rehabilitation
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.
Scotoma – an Area of Vision Loss / Visual Field Loss Post Stroke or Brain Injury
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.
Visual Field Loss
Also known as low vision or visual field cut, visual field loss can be caused by a range of conditions, including stroke and brain injury. Luckily, low vision therapy (vision therapy) can, in many cases, diminish or fully resolve visual field defects.
