1. A process for training the visual system of a human by presenting optical stimuli to said human, said stimuli being presented to a zone within the intact visual field of said human and to a zone outside the intact visual field of said human, the latter zone comprising a zone to be trained, thereby allowing an improvement of the vision in said latter zone, said process comprising the steps oflocating and defining a zone of deteriorated vision or residual visual function or partial visual system injury (“

  • transition zone”

    ) within the human'"'"'s visual system;

    defining a training area which is located within said transition zone;

    training the human'"'"'s visual system by presenting visual stimuli to the human'"'"'s visual system, the majority of said visual stimuli being presented in or near said transition zone;

    recording changes in the characteristics of the human'"'"'s visual system;

    adapting the location and definition of the stimulus presentation to said transition zone according to said changes; and

    reiterating the previous steps continuously so as to extend the human'"'"'s intact visual field into said transition zone and said transition zone into a zone of more deteriorated vision or a zone of less residual visual function or a zone of substantially complete visual system injury.
