Visual Impairment
Conditions
Brief summary
the purpose of the study is to evaluate the software usability and patient's adherence from five vision rehabilitation centres. In addition, the effect and benefits of a customizable telerehabilitation program were tested.
Detailed description
The software is used in our practice for every day vision rehabilitation training. So it is part of our routine medical care, and a we are going to study studies the effect of the intervention in several different centers.
Interventions
DEVICETelerehabilitation
The home visual telerehabilitation path using the EyeFitness software consisted of performing one visual training session per day, 5 days a week (from Monday to Friday) for a total of 6 weeks.
