What is vestibular rehabilitation?
Vestibular rehabilitation treats neurological disorders causing balance problems and feelings of instability. Through specific exercises, it helps the brain compensate
Improving your visual field is a key concern, especially for people with visual disorders or certain eye diseases.
Optimal visual acuity depends on many factors, including the health of the retina, the optic nerve and the surrounding structures, such as the lens and the cornea.
Our COP9 team brings you some advice and information to optimize your visual function!
We advise you to avoid sources of intense light and prolonged exposure to screens, which can cause discomfort and contribute to eye fatigue.
In the event of prolonged exposure to screens, in order to improve your visual field, we invite you to do the 20-20-20 method as our orthoptists explain in this video!
A varied diet rich in antioxidants, omega-3 and vitamins A, C and E can help improve your visual field, maintain eye health and prevent conditions such as cataracts or macular degeneration.
Foods such as carrots, spinach and oily fish are particularly beneficial.
Similarly, avoiding smoking and limiting alcohol consumption preserves eye health and visual function.

Certain eye exercises can help reduce eye fatigue and improve your visual field.
This can include regular breaks when reading or using screens, as well as eye movements to stretch and relax the muscles responsible for vision.
Some vision problems are hereditary and can appear bilaterally (in both eyes).
In such cases, regular eye examinations are all the more essential to preserve and improve the visual field. They also enable the early detection of potential visual impairments.
Conditions such as hemianopsia or other neurological issues can impact the visual field.
Early consultation with an ophthalmology specialist, and possibly neurological follow-up if sudden or abrupt visual disturbances are observed, can help manage these delicate situations.

Symptoms like blurred vision or visual fatigue require special attention.
Early diagnosis of visual disorders and an appropriate prescription not only help restore comfortable vision but also maintain it.
Regular ophthalmic follow-ups with an eye specialist are crucial for early diagnosis and treatment of visual field disorders, thus helping to optimize and improve visual field.
Orthoptics is a paramedical field dedicated to visual rehabilitation and re-education.
This specialty can significantly improve the visual field, especially in people with visual deficits due to accidents, neuro-ophthalmological diseases, or binocular vision disorders.
Our COP9 orthoptists use various techniques to strengthen the coordination between both eyes and optimize their visual efficiency.
Among these techniques, visual stimulation exercises play a key role.
They involve controlled eye movements, fixation, and scanning exercises to train eye muscles and gradually expand the visual field.
Our exercises are customized to meet the specific needs and visual abilities of each patient.

In addition to exercises, our orthoptic team relies on tools such as our MoveR! equipment.
These devices help the brain better interpret visual information and compensate for visual field loss.
With regular follow-up, our orthoptists can thus contribute to a significant improvement in visual perception and quality of life.
It requires patience and diligence, but the effects are long-lasting, providing you with better comfort and greater visual independence.
Des symptômes comme la vision floue ou la fatigue visuelle nécessitent une attention particulière. Un diagnostic précoce des troubles visuels et une prescription adaptée permettent non seulement de retrouver une vision confortable, mais aussi de la conserver.
Un suivi ophtalmique régulier avec un spécialiste des yeux est essentiel pour diagnostiquer précocement et traiter les troubles du champ visuel, permettant ainsi d’optimiser et d’améliorer son champ visuel.
Aging naturally leads to a decrease in the eye’s accommodation, reducing the ability to maintain clear vision, especially at near and far distances.
An appropriate prescription can help restore more comfortable vision despite aging.
Additionally, visual exercises can improve accommodation and help mitigate the effects of visual fatigue.
A regular visual assessment is essential to identify early signs of visual disorders, such as blurred vision, hyperopia or strabismus, which can restrict the visual field.
These assessments allow us to measure visual acuity and to perform a fundus examination, essential to detect abnormalities of the eyeball.
Regular follow-up with an ophthalmologist is essential to detect possible eye conditions.

Some diseases can lead to progressive vision loss if they are not treated in time:
glaucoma ;
diabetic retinopathy;
age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
A complete ophthalmological examination, including a fundus examination, can detect abnormalities, retinal lesions or even retinal detachment, which can alter your field of vision.
Refractive disorders, such as myopia, hyperopia and others, affect distance vision. They can reduce the ability to see clearly over a wide field, in near and/or far vision.
Our ophthalmologist can prescribe glasses or lenses to improve the best possible visual acuity.
The use of tailored corrective lenses or contact lenses can significantly improve your visual field.
For those with myopia, hyperopia, or astigmatism, adequate correction helps maintain optimal visual acuity.
In case of presbyopia, glasses for near vision may be necessary.
For people with less correctable vision problems, low vision aids can be considered.
Dry eye condition can cause discomfort and temporary blurred vision.
Using artificial tears and avoiding excessive screen time can reduce these symptoms.
Ocular hypertension is also a major risk factor, which can affect the health of the optic nerve and, consequently, the visual field.
For people with visual impairments, aids such as magnification devices or vision rehabilitation tools can improve not only central vision, but also peripheral vision.
A proactive approach to eye health, with regular checkups, appropriate corrections, and a healthy lifestyle, contributes significantly to improving the visual field and preventing vision loss.
For any abnormality or vision disorder, it is crucial to consult an ophthalmologist to evaluate possible options and adjust treatment according to individual needs.
