Abstract |
Twenty-eight patients with low vision were enrolled into the study. A preliminary study was carried out on 18 eyes of 13 patients with low vision who underwent visual rehabilitation with a new instrument for biofeedback (BF) applied to vision; improved biofeedback integrated system (Ibis). Successively, eight patients (16 eyes) with bilateral low vision were subjected to biofeedback in one eye. The experimental and control eye were evaluated separately. Then a placebo training was developed on seven patients (12 eyes). Visual acuity, colour vision, automated perimetry, contrast sensitivity and flash VEP were evaluated. A brief review of the literature and the possible mechanisms behind the results are discussed.
