Abstract
A device and method are provided for treating the visual system of a human including the retina, visual cortex and/or other neuro-cellular structures. The method includes the steps of locating and defining a blind zone of deteriorated vision within the human's visual system, defining a treatment area which is located predominantly within the blind zone, and treating the human's visual system by presenting visual stimuli to the human's visual system. The majority of the visual stimuli are presented to at least a portion of the blind zone.
