Heteronymous Hemianopia is a medical condition causing the loss of half of the visual field on different sides in both eyes. It is typically caused by a tumor on your pituitary gland exerting pressure on the Chiasma Opticum, the area above the gland where both optic nerves converge to send signals to the brain. This is a major highway for all visual stimuli, so anything that affects it will have major implications for the visual field, despite the relatively small size of the pituitary gland.

A new article from NovaVision, the vision rehabilitation division of Vycor Medical, explains how a pituitary tumor can cause major disorders like Heteronymous Hemianopia. The article goes into detail on what the disorder may look like to those that are afflicted by it and how it can affect a patient’s daily life. Several images are included to better highlight how vision is affected by this condition.

The article also gives some examples of different types of Heteronymous Hemianopia, as there are variants that affect different visual fields. While debilitating for those affected, the article concludes by saying that these symptoms typically subside after successful tumor treatment. However, if vision loss symptoms remain even after treating the tumor, NovaVision’s Vision Restoration Therapy could be the tool needed to bring that vision back to the levels they should be.

Saccadic eye movements are the jerky, simultaneous movements of both eyes that shift the point of focus from one place to the next. While many therapies work on aspects of saccadic eye movements, clinical data suggests the following: interventions should be evidence based, should be designed specifically for the clinical condition present, and intervention should be supervised. It is these three aspects that NovaVision’s NeuroEyeCoach was designed to address.

A new article from NovaVision, the vision rehabilitation division of Vycor Medical, goes in depth on how NeuroEyeCoach was designed to address critical issues like lack of evidence-based therapies and the need for a therapy that specifically treats these saccadic eye movements. These programs include systematically designed protocols specific to neurologically visually impaired patients that automatically adjust to the patient’s needs, eliminating the need for improvisation and removing the aspect of physician interpretation.

Most importantly, NeuroEyeCoach is thoroughly vetted by clinical studies, which all point to its effectiveness in the field. According to the article, “NeuroEyeCaoch led to improvements for home-based and clinic-based patients in both objective measures of visual function… as well as reduced subjective reports of disability.” While other programs may have merit in relation to areas of vision, they lack several key aspects that NeuroEyeCoach demonstrates. In addition to these considerations, NeuroEyeCoach’s final advantage is its flexible delivery method; it can be done both in the clinic as well as at home. All of these aspects make NeuroEyeCoach the more attractive option for patients who need saccadic therapy.

When undergoing therapy for complex issues like vision loss, it can be hard to tell when meaningful progress is being made. While there are many metrics to consider, one that has a profound effect on a patient’s ability to see is known as “degrees of visual angle.” Several clinical studies confirm that NovaVision’s Vision Restoration Therapy (VRT) points to an enlargement of the visual field by an average of 5 degrees after 6 months of therapy.

But how much is 5 degrees of visual angle improvement, really? A new article from NovaVision, the vision rehabilitation division of Vycor Medical, goes in depth on how visual angle improvements are calculated and what these improvements may look like in meaningful examples. The article explains how distance and focus affect the visual field, and the “optimally usable visible field,” the field where focus allows you to read and write, is actually quite a bite smaller than you may expect.

All of this evidence strongly points to their conclusion: “that a 5-degree visual angle improvement following VRT can have a very meaningful impact on one’s daily activities.” They go on to say that improvements to the central area of vision, where VRT targets, can have a significant impact on daily activities like reading, cooking, or working on the computer. These are activities that most take for granted, yet the visually impaired struggle with daily. And while everyone reacts to therapy differently, it is certain that many patients have achieved significant improvement to their vision and their quality of life.

Vision loss following a stroke or brain injury is not only disorienting but often confusing as well. With so much information and so many differing opinions from various sources, it can be hard to understand what advice is real and currently relevant, and what advice is misinformation or simply outdated according to modern understanding.

A new article from NovaVision, the vision rehabilitation division of Vycor Medical, looks to combat three of the most common misconceptions regarding therapies to restore vision. This article breaks down these misconceptions and sheds light on modern therapy practices.

Misconceptions regarding therapy and recovery are unfortunately all too common and dispelling these misconceptions is often the first step towards a full recovery. As the article puts it: "Exploring VRT is truly making an investment in your vision and your overall quality of life.”

Vision loss following a stroke or brain injury is one of the most disorienting outcomes patients face, and one of the least understood in terms of what rehabilitation options are available.

A new article from NovaVision, the vision rehabilitation division of Vycor Medical, walks through how to evaluate whether Vision Restoration Therapy may be appropriate, how to prepare for a productive conversation with your physician, and how NovaVision can support this process with clinical materials and physician referrals.

Many patients are unaware that FDA-cleared, computer-based vision rehabilitation programs exist, for which they may already be a candidate. As the article puts it: "The right therapy is the one that fits your specific condition, your clinical picture, and a treatment plan developed with your medical team. NovaVision's role is to make that process easier."

The brain's ability to reorganize after injury is well established, but there's a common misconception that this healing happens passively or that any 'brain training' app can drive it. A new article from NovaVision, the vision rehabilitation division of Vycor Medical, explains what neuroplasticity requires in a clinical setting and why generic approaches fall short.

Vycor Medical, Inc. (OTCQB: VYCO) is a B2i Digital Featured Company. See the company's complete profile at https://b2idigital.com/vycor-medical.

The article covers what neuroplasticity is, why it matters for stroke and brain injury survivors, and what separates evidence-based rehabilitation from consumer "brain training" products. Neuroplasticity treatments need solid scientific evidence, must be tailored to each patient, and should be closely monitored, which negates the many over-the-counter brain-training apps that claim to help everyone.

Sudden, temporary vision loss is easy to dismiss, especially when it resolves quickly. But as a new article from NovaVision, the vision rehabilitation division of Vycor Medical, explains, it can be one of the earliest warning signs of an approaching stroke. A transient ischemic attack, or TIA, often produces brief vision changes, including dimming or complete loss of sight in one eye, that can signal something more serious ahead.

Vycor Medical, Inc. (OTCQB: VYCO) is a B2i Digital Featured Company. See the company's complete profile at https://b2idigital.com/vycor-medical.

The article explores how sudden vision changes can serve as early stroke warnings, what types of vision loss commonly follow a stroke, and what rehabilitation options are available. As the article notes: "If you experience sudden vision loss, whether in one eye or across part of your visual field, along with any other stroke-associated symptoms, seek medical attention immediately. Acting fast is the single most important thing you can do to reduce the impact of a stroke."

Vision loss after stroke varies widely among survivors, even when strokes occur in similar brain locations. Vycor’s NovaVision division works with this variability by offering vision rehabilitation programs tailored to each patient’s specific pattern of vision challenges.

A recent blog post explains why vision outcomes differ so significantly among stroke survivors and describes the common patterns patients experience. As the article notes, “Two people with strokes in similar locations may experience quite different vision outcomes because of these variables. This variability explains why some stroke survivors notice profound vision changes while others experience minimal or no visual symptoms despite having strokes of comparable size or location.”
