Alternating current stimulation (tACS), when applied near the eye, forces retinal ganglion cells to fire at predetermined frequencies. Repeating this for extended time periods might strengthen the synaptic connectivity through mechanisms of neuroplasticity and thus induce long-lasting after-effects of brain synchronization. To check clinical efficacy in the treatment of vision loss, patients suffering from optic nerve damage received tACS for 10 days (20–40 min daily, AC–current bursts of.
