If the source of the visual impairment is not retinal, but due to changes in the optic nerve or abnormality in visual response in the brain, we now are seeing major promise through neuro-stimulation. We have discovered a technique to improve the speed that signals can travel through the brain. This results in a significant improvement in eye sight. Our research has shown that vision is improved by an average of 200%.
Neuro-stimulation can help patients with dyslexia.
Neuro-stimulation using VEP (brain-based) information can help glaucoma, optic atrophies, stroke, visual field loss, and retinitis pigmentosa. These visual impairments are helped by improving the ability of signals to get from the eyes to the brain.
It can also help patients with alexia, relating to optic nerve disease or cortical damage. Dr. Siwoff and his team have done a lot of research on this, producing two recent studies:
Neuro-Enhancement: A New Treatment for Optic Neuropathy
Case Study on Neuro-Rehabilitation Using VEP
