🧾 Clinical Brief β€” Stroke and Visual Field Loss

Introduction

After a stroke, many people experience loss or suppression of part of their visual field. This can make it difficult to read, drive, recognize faces, or move safely in daily life. Even when other functions recover, vision loss can remain a lasting challenge.

coMra therapy is offered here as a supportive treatment to help restore communication between the eye and the brain. It is non-invasive, safe, and designed to complement standard stroke rehabilitation.


Why We Use It

coMra therapy may be recommended for:

  • Loss of visual field after stroke (hemianopia, quadrantanopia).
  • Visual suppression related to neurovascular injury.
  • Ongoing visual fatigue or strain following neurological events.

How It Works

coMra combines four low-intensity energies:

  • Laser light: stimulates energy production and repair in nerve cells.
  • Ultrasound (sound waves): improves nutrient and fluid movement.
  • Magnetic field: helps guide circulation and balance.
  • Sequenced colour LEDs: support rhythm and coordination in the nervous system.

Together, these radiances support healing processes in the optic pathways, helping the brain reconnect with vision from the affected eye.


Evidence & Experience

  • Case reports show restored visual fields after stroke with coMra therapy.
  • Patients often report fewer headaches, improved balance, and greater confidence in daily activities.
  • coMra has been used internationally for over 15 years with consistent safety.

What Patients Can Expect

  • Sessions are short and comfortable, lasting only a few minutes.
  • The device is placed gently over closed eyelids, or near the area of stroke.
  • No pressure, pain, or heat is applied.
  • Patients may see a blinking light with eyes closed β€” this is normal.

Role in Care

  • coMra is used alongside standard stroke rehabilitation (therapy, medications, lifestyle adjustments).
  • Protocols are tailored to each patient’s condition and stage of recovery.
  • Some patients may also continue treatment at home if recommended by the doctor.
