This article describes the experimental protocol used to instruct fifteen patients with peripheral visual field loss due to retinitis pigmentosa, choroideremia, or Usher's syndrome Type II how to effectively use bioptic amorphic lenses. The factors that contributed to the successful use of these lenses, as well as difficulties the patients encountered, are discussed. The results of the study (published in detail in Szlyk et al. Use of bioptic amorphic lenses to expand the visual field in patients with peripheral loss. Optom Vis Sci 1998;75:518-24) indicate that bioptic amorphic lenses, when combined with a comprehensive training program, can expand visual function in the areas of peripheral detection, recognition, scanning, tracking, visual memory, and mobility.
