Brain damage disrupts these complicated processes, resulting in severe visual impairments including hemianopia. Patients with hemianopia co...
متن کاملField expansion for homonymous hemianopia by optically induced peripheral exotropia.

METHOD To expand the upper quadrant of the field, a high power prism segment (30-40delta) is placed base-out across the upper part of the spectacle lens, on the side of the loss, at about the level of th...
