The Effect of the Left-Field Eye Patching on Left Spatial Neglect

Abstract

This report is the first study to investigate the effect of neglectedfield eye patching for a patient with hemispatial neglect. In previous studies [1-6], right-field eye patching has been reported as technique to improve left spatial neglect. This technique was based on the concept of making left space attention easier by reducing excessive rightward attention. However, a definite opinion about the effect of the right-field eye patching has not been obtained.
