Visual field deficits are common in neurologic disease conditions such as cerebrovascular disease, traumatic brain injury, and brain tumors. Loss of visual fields may lead to impairment of reading skills (hemianopic dyslexia) and limitations of daily activities such as driving, which can have a significant impact on an individual's socioeconomic status and quality of life. Moreover, patients with motor deficits from neurologic diseases have a 20% decreased likelihood of achieving independence in ambulation and self-care activities with coexisting hemianopia. Studies on the natural history of homonymous hemianopia have shown that spontaneous improvement of visual fields may occur in less than 40% of individuals early in the disease process. Improvement is usually incomplete, which implies that a significant number of individuals will be left with a disabling visual deficit. Although several methods of rehabilitation (optical, compensatory, and restitution therapy) are used in practice, none, unfortunately, have shown consistent and significant benefits. In this review, the authors focus on the natural history, impact, prognosis, and treatment modalities for neurologic field defects.

“…Kompensatorische Trainingsprogramme sind derzeit die einzigen evidenzbasierten Interventionen zur Verbesserung der Orientierungsfähigkeit bei homonymen Ausfällen (Übersichtsartikel s. [3,23,24]). Eine Restitution der Gesichtsfelder durch Lichtstimulation lässt sich nicht erreichen (s. Übersichtsartikel [23,25]).…”

“…Manche dieser Patienten können trotz normaler Sehschärfe leicht exzentrisch fixieren und verschieben dadurch den Gesichtsfeldausfall zur blinden Seite und schaffen sich hiermit ein schmales Perzeptionsareal entlang der vertikalen Mittellinie [23]. Dies ist für die Lesefähigkeit von besonderer Bedeutung (.…”

Diseases of the eyes and visual pathways can lead to different visual field defects, which limit the patients' abilities in everyday life in different ways. Central visual field defects cause mainly reading disorders and peripheral defects cause disorders of orientation and mobility. Rehabilitation measures have to be adapted specifically to the deficit and the individual needs of the patient. In central scotoma, reading ability can mostly be restored by magnifying visual aids. In reading disorders caused by insufficient size of the reading visual field, text magnification is contraindicated. In this case, contrast-enhancing or non-visual aids are applied. Modern electronic media are successfully used particularly by young people with visual impairments. Computer-based training programs are of increasing importance, especially saccadic training for orientation disorders due to concentric and homonymous visual field impairments.
