A recent study published in Springer May 2025 Experimental Brain Research has provided further evidence supporting the efficacy of NovaVision’s NeuroEyeCoach, a therapy program designed for patients recovering from visual disorders after stroke or brain injury. The study, a collaboration between the University of Verona, Italy, and NovaVision, compared the outcomes of 95 patients using NeuroEyeCoach at home with 31 patients receiving the therapy in a clinic setting in Verona. The findings revealed significant improvements in visual search performance and a reduction in visual disability, with no meaningful differences between the home-based and clinic-based groups.
The NeuroEyeCoach program, which has been validated in a previous 296-patient peer-reviewed clinical study published in Cortex, is designed to improve patients’ ability to detect objects in their visual field by training them to make better eye movements. The latest study underscores the program’s effectiveness in both home and clinical settings, aligning with the global trend towards at-home digital health solutions. This is particularly relevant given the variability in vision rehabilitation provisions across Europe and the United States, where access to specialist care can be limited.
According to the study, NeuroEyeCoach led to improvements in objective measures of visual function, such as reduced visual search times and lower search errors, as well as subjective reports of reduced disability. These outcomes highlight the program’s potential to offer a low-cost, accessible solution for patients seeking to regain lost visual capabilities, regardless of their access to clinical rehabilitation services.
The implications of this study are significant for the field of vision rehabilitation, offering hope to patients with visual impairments caused by neurological damage. By demonstrating that effective therapy can be delivered remotely, NeuroEyeCoach represents a promising option for expanding access to vision rehabilitation services, particularly in regions where specialist care is not readily available.
