Abstract
PURPOSE: To evaluate a novel non-surgical method for improving vision in a refractive surgery patient. METHODS: A 45-year-old man who had undergone LASIK 5 years previously presented with blurred distance vision. Unaided vision in the right eye was 20/329-2) and 20/20 in the left eye. He enrolled for NeuroVision treatment (NeuroVision Pte Ltd, Singapore), a computer-based interface in which a repetitive set of visual excerises is performed for 10 to 12 weeks. RESULTS: After 35 sessions, unaided visual acuity in the right eye was 20/16(-3) and 20/20(-1) in the left eye, representing 2.8 lines of improvement in the right eye and 1.6 lines in the left eye. CONCLUSIONS: NeuroVision, a noninvasive treatment based on the concept of perceptual learning, is a benefit in cases in which surgical enhancement is not recommended.
