Physical or Medical
- Able to sit upright and concentrate without distraction for training sessions lasting approximately 25 minutes, twice a day, six days a week.
- Able to operate comfortably a mouse button or the space bar on a computer keyboard.
- Able to understand and follow written or audio instructions.
Technical
- Internet connection
- PC (desktop or laptop) with Windows 7, 8 or 10. NovaVision NeET is not compatible with Apple OS, however can be used with an Apple computer if Windows or a program such as Parallels (www.parallels.com) is installed.
- NeET should not be run on a screen size below 15” (diagonal). Minimum screen resolution is 1024(W) x 768(H) and NeET will not operate below this minimum resolution.
- Some familiarity with computer operation and Internet browsing. NeET requires an initial download and run of an Installation program from the NovaVision website portal. Your progress reports are also downloaded from the same portal.
Please note that, prior to completing the online registration questionnaire, the NovaVision portal will run a check on the technical attributes of the computer equipment being used to access the portal and will inform you if the technical requirements are not met.
If you are uncertain of the technical requirements, or have questions, please contact NovaVision Support.
Contraindications, Warnings and Precautions
Contraindications
Patients with the following medical or physical conditions must not undergo NeET therapy:
- History of seizure disorders, especially those of a photosensitive nature. In patients with uncontrolled photosensitive seizure disorders, NeET may have adverse effects including, but not limited to, seizures.
- Severe cognitive defects, particularly due to the requirement to be able to concentrate for two sessions of 15-25 minutes a day, five days a week.
Warnings
- Patients with active acute inflammatory diseases of the eyes or central nervous system should not initiate NeET until the acute phase has subsided.
- NeET will not be effective for patients without any residual vision whatsoever (i.e., total cortical blindness).
- NeET treatment requires patients to be seated for extended periods of time. If the patient has been previously diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or has been identified by their physician as having an increased risk of experiencing DVT, the patient should first consult with their physician before initiating NeET treatment.
Precautions
The following conditions are not treatable by NeET, may impact the ability of a patient to carry out NeET, and/or may reduce its effectiveness:
- Uncorrected vision defects such as myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, presbyopia or tropia (strabismus).
- Nystagmus.
- Progressive disorders such as glaucoma, multiple sclerosis, diabetic retinopathy or macular degeneration.
- Although there are no age limits for the therapy, NeET is not recommended for children, due to the requirement to be able to concentrate for two sessions of 15-25 minutes a day, five days a week.
Risks
In common with all activities requiring extended use of a computer screen, NeET may cause light headaches or fatigue if performed too intensively or without sufficient relaxation periods (breaks). If this occurs, patients should take more frequent breaks during the session or request shortened therapy times. If this persists, patients should temporarily discontinue the therapy until symptoms subside and notify their health care professional.
