Biofeedback training
This is an audio-luminous stimulation on the micro perimeter that teaches the brain to use a different fixation locus on the retinal other than the fovea and develops visual attention to the surrounding retinal areas. 20 minutes exercises for stimulation are performed on the micro perimeter, once a week, for 5 weeks.
