Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The concept of visual field enhancement is to increase the effect of the patient's habitual scanning skills by displacing peripheral images toward the residual field and mid-line. This reduces the extent of ocular and head rotation by patients with severely restricted and hemianopic visual fields. High power fresnel press-on prisms are used to effect the image displacement. This paper describes a technique that we believe to be less empirical and more reproducible than previously described in the literature.
