Vision Therapy

Our neurologist suggested we visit a neuro ophthalmologist to determine vision weakness. He also scheduled an appointment with a driving therapist. The neuro-ophthalmologist found significant cataracts and following a driving evaluation, the plan was set to complete cataract surgery before moving forward with driving therapy. One eye has been completed, restored to 20/20. Our major problem is left side neglect. It was explained to us that it isn't just his left eye, but the left portion of both eyes. We tried speech therapist for cognitive, but neither therapist really understood left side neglect. I would be interested in other suggestions for left side neglect. my husband has directional and time management deficit.

Comment from www.stroke-rehab.com
Left side neglect and L homonymous hemianopsia or hemianopia (the lost of L side vision in both eyes) are two different conditions. Left side neglect is a neurological condition in which individuals fail to pay attention to or acknowledge the left side of their body or objects to the left. This condition usually occurs due to damage to the right parietal lobe of the brain, which is responsible for spatial awareness and attention. Damage to this area can lead to a lack of awareness of the left side of the body and the space surrounding it.
