Early vision training interventions may restore vision loss in stroke
ROCHESTER - Researchers
at University of Rochester have found in a new study that early vision
training interventions may restore vision loss in patients of occipital
strokes.
A person who has a stroke that causes vision loss is often told there is
nothing she can do to improve or regain the vision she has lost.
New research published in the journal Brain, may offer hope to stroke
patients in regaining vision.

The Rochester team found that survivors of occipital strokes--strokes
that occur in the occipital lobe of the brain and affect the ability to
see--may retain some visual capabilities immediately after the stroke,
but these abilities diminish and eventually disappear permanently after
approximately six months. By capitalizing on this initial preserved
vision, early vision training interventions can help stroke patients
recover more of their vision loss than if training is administered after
six months.

"One of our key findings, which has never been reported before, is that
an occipital stroke that damages the visual cortex causes gradual
degeneration of visual structures all the way back to the eyes," says
Krystel Huxlin, the James V. Aquavella, MD Professor in Ophthalmology at
the University of Rochester's Flaum Eye Institute.
The Rochester research team--including Elizabeth Saionz, a PhD candidate
in Huxlin's lab and the first author of the paper; Duje Tadin,
professor and chair of the Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences;
and Michael Melnick, a postdoctoral associate in Tadin and Huxlin's
labs--additionally discovered that early intervention in the form of
visual training appears to stop the gradual loss of visual processing
that stroke victims may experience.
