“…However, there is evidence that it occurs less often in patients with advanced glaucoma 214 15 The results from our study also suggest that enhancement occurs infrequently in the central field (20° from fixation) of a group of patients with bilateral glaucoma. Significant binocular enhancement would have manifested poor agreement between the simulation and the EVFT in identifying patients with at least one defect (<10 dB).…”

“…Ergo-perimetry is an assessment of the visual response of the patient, used to monitor the outcomes of rehabilitation [ 17 ]. To practice ergo-perimetry, orthoptists require a semi-dark setting, where black-and-white slides are projected on an empty wall (i.e., creating projections of 2 × 1.5 m, in an area of 30° of eccentricity) [ 18 , 19 ]. Each slide shows standardized stimuli (e.g., shapes, playing cards, letters, numbers, or words).…”

In the last two years, orthoptists have counteracted patient drop-out through visual telerehabilitation. Efforts were made to transfer the in-person visual rehabilitation setting to the telematic environment in response to the worldwide crisis. Nowadays, statistical evidence on the effects of visual telerehabilitation is still scarce. The present research is the first, in Italy, to offer a pre-post assessment of the impact of visual telerehabilitation. Twenty-four (n = 24) children (64% male, 14% monocles) aged 4 to 15 years (mean age = 9.21 years, SD = 3.36, mean residual vision 1.3/10) were randomly assigned to three different group types for rehabilitation: a telematic rehabilitation group (n = 7), a mixed rehabilitation group (n = 8), and an in-person rehabilitation group (n = 9). Each group underwent a six-week visual rehabilitation. Ergo-perimetric evaluation before and after the rehabilitation was administered to the three groups. t-tests showed a significant improvement in ergo-perimetric outcomes in the visual telerehabilitation group (p < 0.05) and in the mixed rehabilitation group (p < 0.01), via a shortening of the response times. The findings suggest that visual telerehabilitation and mixed rehabilitation can lead to an ergo-perimetric improvement in visually impaired children within six weeks. Further research is needed, both to corroborate the findings with a larger sample size and to attain a follow-up measurement in order to clarify whether visual telerehabilitation could represent a stand-alone method.
