The invention relates to a method for training a preferred retinal locus of fixation for a person having an eye with a field of vision comprising an area of partially diminished or entirely degenerated visual acuity. The method is characterized in the steps: a) determining an inefficient retinal region in said field of vision of said eye of said person and b) inducing a preferred retinal locus of fixation for a vision task outside said inefficient retinal region. In addition the invention relates to a device for training a preferred retinal locus of fixation for a person having an eye with a field of vision comprising an area of partially diminished or entirely degenerated visual acuity. The device is characterized in an inducing arrangement for inducing a preferred retinal locus of fixation for a vision task outside an inefficient retinal region in said field of vision of said eye of said person.
