Compared with the eye with poor vision before training, the contrast sensitivity of the eye with good vision before training improved after training. There was no significant change in the no corrected visual acuity (NCVA) and refraction before and after training. After 12\u202fmonths, contrast sensitivity was better in the visual cortex training group.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>For patients with a small amount of residual refractive error and reduced subjective visual quality after SMILE, RevitalVision training improved subjective visual function, particularly contrast sensitivity and related visual performance, without measurable changes in objective optical quality parameters.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Clinical trial registration<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Identifier [ChiCTR1800014796].<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fnins.2026.1852368","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,9]],"date-time":"2026-09-09T05:58:40Z","timestamp":1788933520000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["NeuroVision training may improve subjective visual quality in patients with residual refractive error after SMILE: a prospective clinical trial"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Jiping","family":"Xu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Ophthalmology, Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center, Sun Yat-Sen University, Guangdong Provincial Key Laboratory of Ophthalmology and Visual Science, Guangdong Provincial Clinical Research Center for Ocular Diseases","place":["Guangzhou, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Manli","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Ophthalmology, Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center, Sun Yat-Sen University, Guangdong Provincial Key Laboratory of Ophthalmology and Visual Science, Guangdong Provincial Clinical Research Center for Ocular Diseases","place":["Guangzhou, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Quan","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Ophthalmology, Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center, Sun Yat-Sen University, Guangdong Provincial Key Laboratory of Ophthalmology and Visual Science, Guangdong Provincial Clinical Research Center for Ocular Diseases","place":["Guangzhou, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"2485","DOI":"10.3758\/s13414-014-0738-8","article-title":"Improving myopia via perceptual learning: is training with lateral masking the only (or the most) efficacious technique?","volume":"76","author":"Camilleri","year":"2014","journal-title":"Atten.
