NovaVision VRT

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.
