Summary

This trial aims to test a new visual rehabilitation program called Re:Vision for individuals aged 10-40 with hemianopia caused by pediatric brain tumors. The program involves a combination of audio and visual

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals aged 10-40 who have hemianopia due to a pediatric brain tumor. Participants will engage in an at-home visual rehabilitation program using virtual reality, and must be able to perform the exercises independently with remote supervision.
What is being tested?
The study tests 'Re:Vision', an 8-week home-based visual telerehabilitation program using audiovisual stimulation in a VR environment. It aims to improve visual perception in those affected by vision loss from brain tumors.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this intervention involves non-invasive audiovisual stimulation, side effects may include discomfort or dizziness related to VR use but are generally expected to be minimal.
