NIDEK MP-1

The Nidek MP-1 is another recently developed, exciting piece of technology that can aid vision. The Nidek MP-1 is an auditory feedback machine that helps retrain the eye to utilize the retinal sweet spot. When people have macular degeneration, they have scar tissue right in the center of their eyes. So, when they try to read, they try to force that damaged area to do the reading. Likewise, when they look at an object, that blind spot (or scar tissue) is right in the center of their eyes as they look. The brain can’t tell the eye to move over a little bit and read outside that scarred area. I hear about this all the time from patients: “Dr. Kondrot,” they say, “if I could just move that blind spot to the side, maybe put it over here, I would be fine. But every time I look straight ahead, it’s right in front of me!”

Using this machine, the Nidek MP-1, we can actually measure what the best area of the retina would be for becoming the new center of vision. Our goal is to get the brain not to focus on the scar tissue but, instead, to use a point of vision along the scar tissue as the focus. In the Nidek MP-1, we have a device that measures retina sensitivity in different areas, and thereby finds the best new, central vision location (or area of fixation). Then, once that point has been located, this machine retrains the eye to use a different part of the retina as the central fixation area through an auditory feedback system.

Perhaps sometimes this can work too well. One of our patients, who struggled with reading because of his macular degeneration, went through a series of treatments to retrain his eyes. He went from struggling to speed-reading after just a few sessions. Soon after, we were alarmed when he called us up from his Porsche. He said, “I am doing hairpin turns here in Colorado at eighty miles an hour. I got my depth perception back!” This is a true story. So now we have to have you sign waivers and release forms in case you become overexcited about your new vision capabilities.

A recent study published in Applied Psychological Biofeedback (Volume 34, 2009) shows that the Nidek-MP can improve acuity, reading ability, and fixation in patients with macular degeneration. The study reveals how ten treatments of ten minutes each had powerful results, as shown in the following measurements made on the treated patients:

•300 percent acuity improvement

•Improvement in reading speed (an average of twenty-eight words per minute)

•Better fixation and focusing
