title: Clinical research and statistical analysis of a visual field awareness system.
abstract: This article discusses the clinical research and applications of the statistical analysis of a system called "The Visual Field Awareness System." This medical lens system allows patients with a visual field loss to 1) scan toward area of the loss, to see objects sooner and more clearly, and 2) demonstrate increased function and safety. Seventy-nine percent (27 of 34) of the patients in the sample received and accepted the prism treatment. Of this group, a minimum of 70 percent (19 of 27) continue to benefit from this treatment strategy. Statistically significant predictors of success are discussed. This study demonstrates that patients suffering visual field loss may show functional benefit by the utilization of this prism treatment along with vision rehabilitation.
