While stopping to process visual signals the y do stay alive\, even for very long times. \nThe lecture will inform the general public that there is new evidence that stimulating such silent ne urons with microcurrent treatment in combination with relaxation exercises can activate them again. It explains why vision recovery and restoration is possible even in chronic vision loss and long-lasting improvements of visual functions.\nProfessor Sabel will explain how the therapy works and discuss the currently available clinical evidence. \n\n\nProfessor Sabel is at the University of Magdeburg/Germany\, where he leads a team of rese archers to study vision restoration and brain plasticity. \nHe has widely published in reputable scientific journals (Nature medicine\, Neurology\, Journal of Glaucoma\, PLoS ONE etc.). \nHis research led to an innovativ e therapy now offered at SAVIR-Center (www.savir-center.com) which special izes in low vision caused by eye or brain disorders. \n Recovery of vision is achieved by reactivation of “silent” (hypometabolic) neurons to re store visual fields in glaucoma\, optic neuropathy and other eye or brain disorders of the visual system. \nSAVIR achieves on average 24% larger vi sual field size\, 60% reduction of scotoma\, and 84% of patients experienc e improved visual field size\, reading\, acuity\, less “foggy” vision and/or far vision. \n\nWatch movie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8p3m WsLvAI\n\nContact: info@savir-center.com\n\nhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki /Bernhard_Sabel\n\nhttps://scholar.google.de/citations?hl=en&\;user=voC Hai8AAAAJ&\;view_op=list_works&\;sortby=pubdate ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.worldglaucomaweek.org/wp-content/upl oads/2023/03/Glaucoma-SAVIR-Sehfeld-Slide-cut.jpeg CATEGORIES:Awareness LOCATION:SAVIR Treatment Center\, Ulrichplatz 2\, Magdeburg\, Sachsen-Anhal t\, 39104\, Germany GEO:52.130185;11.635009 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Ulrichplatz 2\, Magdeburg\, Sachsen-Anhalt\, 39104\, Germany;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=SAVIR Treatme nt Center:geo:52.130185,11.635009 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:Europe/Amsterdam X-LIC-LOCATION:Europe/Amsterdam BEGIN:STANDARD DTSTART:20221030T020000 TZOFFSETFROM:+0200 TZOFFSETTO:+0100 TZNAME:CET END:STANDARD END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
