Statistics show that stroke is a leading cause of serious long-term disability and, although each person is unique, stroke can affect people similarly with comparable disabilities such as partial blindness due to visual field loss - a condition previously believed to be untreatable. In honor of National Stroke Awareness Month, NovaVision, Inc. offers inspirational stroke survivor stories of vision recovery through the use of its clinically supported, light stimulation-based Vision Restoration Therapy (VRT) - and how this non-invasive treatment course has improved their sight, and overall quality of life.

"While science shows that the brain can produce minimal spontaneous recovery within the first few months after a stroke occurs, some patients plateau and the words, 'there's nothing else that can be done' can be extremely disheartening,"notes Tom Bridges, NovaVision vice president of sales and marketing. "Vision Restoration Therapy (VRT) is a non-invasive approach to 'rewire' the visual nerves, aiming the healthy neurons to perform the function of those damaged or destroyed by a stroke - resulting in a wider visual field."

Bridges continues, "While speech, physical and occupational therapies are the long-standing treatment regimens for stroke and brain trauma patients, vision rehabilitation has been an unmet need in the paradigm. Our non-invasive Vision Restoration Therapy (VRT) is an exciting option for those patients that are left with a field loss of vision as a result of neurological trauma. VRT is supported by 15 years of clinical studies and patient testimonials and is intended for the diagnosis and improvement of visual functions in patients who have suffered a visual loss resulting from stroke, traumatic brain injury ("TBI"), or other acquired brain injuries."

Stroke Survivors Regain Lost Sight

Retired physician Dr. Ramon is a middle-aged man who experienced a left parietoocipital CVA (stroke) in 2001 after having surgery for Coronary Artery Bypass. As a residual deficit of the Stroke, he suffered from homonymous hemianopsia (right side visual loss in both eyes). "I lost about half of my field of vision, and at that time there were no options available for improving my visual field." He notes. Having homonymous hemianopsia made it very difficult for Dr. Ramon to read, watch TV, and go to the movies - things that he used to enjoy easily before his stroke. In 2004, he decided to research on his own believing that there must be a better solution and this was not only as good as he would get.

While searching the Internet Dr. Ramon found information on NovaVision's Vision Restoration Therapy (VRT) non-invasive, clinically supported neurostimulation device. Intrigued, he contacted NovaVision's Patient Services and was referred to a neurologist familiar with the VRT program, Dr. Jose Romano M.D., at the University of Miami. After learning more about VRT Dr. Ramon decided to move forward with the therapy and began performing VRT in the comfort of his home for just 30 minutes twice a day.
