The "EP" or Expansion Prism system.
By using the "EP"-Horizonal system you are able to obtain patients suffering from Hemianopic Scotoma. Using 40 Diopter Fresnel press-on prisms, an image is able to be "grabbed" from the blind side and moved to the seeing side in the patients peripheral vision.
The "EP" system is designed to help with obstacle detection, especially while moving, it is not a reading aid.
Patient fitting is simple and cost effective using the fitting protocol provided and making adjustments as needed during the training walk with the patient. The patient then is sent home to adjust for about one month.
