Dr. Robert Hedaya published the first case report of cured acquired prosopagnosia treated with laser therapy.
"So I published it. It was the first ever cured acquired prosopagnosia, facial blindness." (said at 0:39:48)
Dr. Robert Hedaya published a 2022 single-patient case report detailing the reversal of acquired associative-type prosopagnosia following quantitative electroencephalography-guided transcranial laser therapy (qGLT), with no recurrence noted at 1-year follow-up. Because this evidence comes from a single uncontrolled case report, the therapeutic efficacy of this intervention carries very low certainty and requires further controlled study.

"We report the reversal of acquired associative-type prosopagnosia (AAP) using quantitative electroencephalography (qEEG)-guided transcranial laser therapy (qGLT) in a subject with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI)... There was no recurrence of AAP for 1 year." (abstract, methods and conclusions, passage verified)
