Wilmington, Delaware, 18th July 2016 – New, improved eyeglasses have been designed for patients suffering from hemianopia — a disorder in which the vision of both the eyes is reduced by half.

Researchers, after years of effort have finally designed new eyeglasses to reduce the pain of those who suffer from severe vision loss like hemianopia. To improve vison, high-powered prisms have been used to enlarge the image. This process gradually clears and rectifies the vision of the patient to a certain degree.

It has been observed that Hemianopia is most commonly caused by stroke, head trauma and brain tumors. This severe illness causes an adverse effect on the eyes in certain cases, which results in harming either the left or right hemi-spheres in both eyes. Patients who suffer from hemianopia suffer from eye damage in which the natural visual field decreases up to 180° to a mere 90° approximately. The most painful of all is, the people suffering from hemianopia have trouble sensing potential threats on their blind sides — leading to falls, collisions and other accidents. Thus, one effective method for treating hemianopia patients, is to enlarge the vision and mount prisms or fix a prism in the eyeglasses. These eyeglasses are a ray of hope for those patients for whom recovering their lost eye sight is a nightmare.

A team of researchers led by Professor Eli Peli from Harvard Medical School has been developing prism devices to enlarge the visual field for the Hemianopia patients for more than 15 years. The major commercially available device that was introduced in the year 2013 by these researchers is peripheral prism glasses. This device helps to enlarge the visual fields of the patients suffering from hemianopia by as much as 30° and it also has a feature that optically shifts the objects from the blind side of the visual field to seeing side. Hence, making the things easily visible to these patients.
