Training methods to improve reading and spatial orientation

Training to improve reading in patients with maculopathy and central scotoma:

We showed the significant effect of our training methods for improvement of reading performance. The lab-version is now being further developed to a user-friendly software.

Training methods for orientation for patients with peripheral visual field defects

We performed 2 RCTs with adult patients and a study with children with an explorative saccadic training with a search task on a computer screen as a home training and found significant improvement of exploration and spatial orientation. These methods are being further developed with more options during the training.
