description | Patient: Male, 15-year-old (7-months-old in at diagnosis) Final Diagnosis: Homonymous hemianopia Symptoms: Visual field defect Medication: — Clinical Procedure: Audiovisual stimulation at 15-years-old Specialty: Ophthalmology • Rehabilitation OBJECTIVE: Unusual or unexpected effect of treatment BACKGROUND: Homonymous hemianopia is a loss of conscious vision in one hemifield, strongly affecting everyday life. Audiovisual stimulation programs improve visual perception in the blind hemifield; however, they use large equipment operated in clinical settings. Such treatments require frequent visits at the clinic, hampering the patient’s adherence and compliance. In one hemianopia patient, we tested a 4-week dynamic audiovisual rehabilitation program in the stand-alone, remotely controlled, virtual-reality, head-mounted display Oculus Go and measured the effect on visual perception. CASE REPORT: A 15-year-old Caucasian male was diagnosed with a right homonymous hemianopia with splitting of central fixation after a traumatic occipital contusion at age 7 months. Visual assessment showed impaired binocular contrast sensitivity and retinal sensitivity. Fixation stability and visual fields were strongly affected. After a 4-week audiovisual rehabilitation program, including 3 hours 20 minutes of stimulation, the contrast sensitivity, fixation stability, and paracentral visual perception were significantly enhanced, improving quality of life. CONCLUSIONS: This pioneering work reports the use of virtual-reality in a head-mounted display to provide an audiovisual stimulation protocol for low-vision rehabilitation in a hemianopia patient. Real-time data recording and remote control of the stimulation program demonstrate that such rehabilitation treatment can be performed by the patient at home without interruption of care, decreasing the burden of disease. Beneficial effects on visual function were measured according to clinical guidelines of low-vision assessment. Improvement in visual function and quality of life challenge the prevailing belief that post-acute vision loss is both permanent and unchangeable. |
