TREATMENT

  • Some patients can be helped by attending rehabilitation to make them aware of their deficiencies and to help them come up with a strategy to compensate. 

  • Clinical trials have shown that this can be a very effective way to counteract the effects of lesions leading to visual recognition disorders, although responses are often slow and require a great deal of time and effort to execute even after hours of training/practice.
