central vision loss. Also called Preferred Retinal Loci (PRL), it is a method by which the person looks slightly away from the subject in order to view it peripherally with another area of the visual field. By using the ( Best Retinal Area ) BRA
to age related -maculapathy You have a central vision loss when your visual acuity is less than 0.1.
unable to use your direct vision, you are unable to fixate and then you have to learn to see from sideways. We call this method eccentric viewing. Eccentric fixation describes the skewed vision

Yes.. This is because, for example, different causes of

at night in order to see it better. By doing so, the viewer is allowing the rod cells in the peripheral field to take over for the cone cells in the central field. Rod cells are better for viewing in dim light than are cone cells.

The question is if eccentric viewing is something you
eccentric viewing will not improve the condition of the retina. The patient may feel that vision has improved as a result, but that is simply because existing vision has been maximized.
factors that come into play in your individual case. Some people find it difficult to adapt to the new situation and technology.
eccentric viewing because it requires a new behavior other than just seeing in the periphery of the retina where the density of cones are much lower than
Step by step
Is visual acuity lower than 0.1 with the best-
corrected visual acuity (BCVA)? Computerized eye test charts are frequently used, such as Text Chart Xpert, where it is possible to use larger optotypes at a shorter distance and calibrate the distance in relation to the size of the optotype.
(Figure 2) and ensure that the central vision loss the scotoma is carefully measured with different isopters (light points of different intensities) so that you can see where the patient sees and does not see in relation to different degrees and sizes of texts and images.
and erase the areas of loss that the patient produces when he or shedescribes what is in the middle
gaze direction. Check if the direction is as good for identification/recognition as it is for reading. Ask the patient to look at your hair, chin and both ears by focusing on these with his or her central vision, namely, placing the scotoma there and then asking: Where do you see my eyes the best? When do you see my hair? My chin? Right or left ear? This is something you can do both before and after the BRA testing.
putting the lenses in a test eyeglass frame and using the near vision chart. It is often appropriate to over correct so that the patient can read fluently and not have to stumble through the text. Usually, a person needs different magnifications for different text sizes.

Look a small object and signed at the far end of the
room not less than 15ft or 4cm Object have an angle of 10 min arc. The patient is move his or her eyes around until the area of the retina that provides the best resolution is found.
Advantage
The patient helps to locate the retinal area with best
acuity. Remember ... The amount of the eccentrically is dependent on the location of the island of seeing.
Mirror
Patients with right hemainopsia have been prescribe
a mirror attached to the nasal eye wires and angled before the right eye Mirror blocked the out most of the left visual field of the right eye. Replacing the with a view of the right VF. Effect: a. Patients learn to suppress mirror image b. The patients must make gross eye and head movements to actually look at an object of interest in the blind spot.
Bilateral hemianopic patients who read Chinese. Example : clip on dental mirror use for the right spectacle lens for right homonymous hemianposia
