peripheral vision

After a traffic accident in 2014, which almost cost him his life, Per suffered a multitrauma that resulted in injuries to his head (brain), as well as body, where both legs were injured, and he unfortunately lost one subsequently.

Per had a lot of problems with his vision and binocular vision challenges. When he woke up from his coma, he was about to spend a lot of time in bed, and when the health staff offered to turn on the television so he could pass time, one of the first challenges showed itself.
He had double vision, and one television turned into two.

“In a rehabilitation process, many people often forget that it is not a matter of pressuring the person for the sake of the pressure. On the contrary, it is important to meet the person right where they are, and give them a motivating push so that they feel like working with themselves, at an appropriate pace – EYEBAB has been good at understanding this.”

– Per Nygaard

The challenges were many, in addition to impaired vision, there were also problems with his balance, memory, and overall endurance.
On a typical day, Per could only last for approximately an hour of total activity.

In 2015, Per took his fate into his own hands. He reached out for help at Klinik for Syn og Udvikling (Clinic for Vision and Development) in Billund, with Functional Optometrist Thomas Kirkfeldt.
