Neglect Dyslexia

Patients with hemi-spatial in-attention (Visual neglect) will have difficulty in attending to the left side of the text. Thus they will repeatedly fail to shift their fixation back to

true beginning of the next line causing confusion. Neglect dyslexia is not easily treated. The same boundary marking techniques can be tried, but outcomes are poor. It may improve over time. All patients with left homonymous hemianopsia should be tested for Hemi-spatial in-attention (visual neglect).
