The immanent sense of optic orientation in space is related to the unchangeable line of principal visual direction and its collaterals. Therefore in patients with loss of central vision due to organic lesion the orientation in space is impaired as well. as a result of a vicious circle of indistinct vision, eccentric fixation and suppresion of foveal perception. By a systematic training the normal sense of direction may be restored and thereby relatively good orientation and by reactivation of the suppressed macular perceptions some reading ability may be regained. Based on experience during 15 years the special diagnostic, the training course and the results of the method are reported and the possibility of rehabilitation of patients with to a high degree impaired central vision due to organic lesions is shown.
空间视觉定向的内在感觉与主要视觉方向及其分支的不变线有关。因此，在因器质性病变导致中心视力丧失的患者中，空间定向也会受损。由于视力模糊、偏心注视和中央凹感知抑制的恶性循环，通过系统训练，正常的方向感可能会恢复，从而获得相对良好的定向，并且通过重新激活被抑制的黄斑感知，一些阅读能力也可能会恢复。基于15年的经验，报告了该方法的特殊诊断、训练过程和结果，并显示了因器质性病变导致中心视力高度受损的患者康复的可能性。
