Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
	Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
	The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Vycor Medical, Inc., and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, NovaVision, Inc. (a Delaware corporation), NovaVision GmbH (a German corporation) and Sight Science Limited (a UK corporation), both wholly owned subsidiaries of NovaVision, Inc. The Company is headquartered in Boca Raton, FL. The operations of Sight Science have been consolidated since January 4, 2012 the date of the completion of the acquisition of all the shares of Sight Science. All material inter-company accounts, transactions, and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain reclassifications and format changes have been made to prior year amounts to conform to the current year presentation.
	Revenue Recognition
	Vycor Medical generates revenue from the sale of its surgical access system to hospitals and other medical professionals. Vycor Medical records revenue when a completed contract for the sale exists, the product is invoiced and shipped to the customer. Vycor Medical does not provide for product returns or warranty costs.
	NovaVision generates revenues from various programs, therapy services and other sources such as license sales. Therapy services revenues represent fees from NovaVision’s vision restoration therapy software, eye movement training software, diagnostic software, clinic set up and training fees, and the professional and support services associated with the therapy. NovaVision provides vision restoration therapy directly to patients. The typical vision restoration therapy consists of six modules, performed on average over 6 months in the U.S. and U.K. and 10 months in Germany. A patient contract comprises set-up fees and monthly therapy fees. Set-up fees are recognized at the outset of the contract and therapy revenue is recognized ratably over the therapy period. Patient therapy is restricted to being completed by a patient within a specified time frame. NovaVision’s saccadic training software is generally completed within 2-4 weeks and revenue is therefore recognized fully at commencement.
	Deferred revenue results from patients paying for the therapy in advance of receiving the therapy.
	Cash and cash equivalents
	The Company maintains cash balances at various financial institutions. Accounts at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. Cash balances may at times exceed the FDIC insured limits. Cash also includes a US investment account in a money market backed by government securities up to 105% of the account balance. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Included within cash are deposits paid by patients, held by the Company until the patient returns the VRT device at the end of therapy. At December 31, 2014 and 2013 patient deposits amounted to $32,869 and $25,467, respectively, and are reserved against in Other Current Liabilities.
	Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Receivable
	We have a policy of reserving for uncollectible accounts based on our best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in our existing accounts receivable. We extend credit to our customers based on an evaluation of their financial condition and other factors. We generally do not require collateral or other security to support accounts receivable. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and maintain an allowance for potential bad debts if required. We determine whether an allowance for doubtful accounts is required by evaluating specific accounts where information indicates the customers may have an inability to meet financial obligations. In these cases, we use assumptions and judgment, based on the best available facts and circumstances, to record a specific allowance for those customers against amounts due to reduce the receivable to the amount expected to be collected. These specific allowances are re-evaluated and adjusted as additional information is received. The amounts calculated are analyzed to determine the total amount of the allowance. We may also record a general allowance as necessary. Direct write-offs are taken in the period when we have exhausted our efforts to collect overdue and unpaid receivables or otherwise evaluate other circumstances that indicate that we should abandon such efforts.
	Inventories
	Inventories are stated at the weighted average cost method. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price, in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs to complete and dispose of the product. If the Company identifies excess, obsolete or unsalable items, its inventories are written down to their realizable value in the period in which the impairment is first identified. The provision for inventory for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 was $17,200 and $35,000, respectively. Shipping and handling costs incurred for inventory purchases and product shipments are recorded in cost of sales in the Company's consolidated statements of operations.
	Foreign Currency
	The Euro is the local currency of the country in which NovaVision GmbH conducts its operations and is considered the functional currency of this entity; the GB Pound is the local currency of the country in which Sight Science Limited conducts its operations and is considered the functional currency of this entity. All balance sheet amounts are translated to U.S. dollars using the U.S. exchange rate at the balance sheet date except for the equity section which is translated at historical rates. Operating statement amounts are translated using an average exchange rate for the period of operations. Foreign currency translation effects are accumulated as part of the accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and included in shareholders’ (deficit) in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet.
	Educational marketing and advertising expenses
	The Company may incur costs for the education of customers on the uses and benefits of its products. The Company will include education, marketing and advertising expense as a component of selling, general and administrative costs as such costs are incurred.
	Income taxes
	We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes.” Under this method, income tax expense is recognized for the amount of: (i) taxes payable or refundable for the current year and (ii) deferred tax consequences of temporary differences resulting from matters that have been recognized in an entity’s financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if based on the weight of the available positive and negative evidence, it is more likely than not some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
	ASC Topic 740.10.30 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC Topic 740.10.40 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. We have no material uncertain tax positions for any of the reporting periods presented.
	Fixed assets
	Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided for on a straight-line basis over the useful lives of the assets. Expenditures for additions and improvements are capitalized; repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.
	Derivative Liability
	The Company accounts for the 34,723 Series A Warrants issued in connection with the Offering (all as defined in Note 7), the holders of which have not waived their anti-dilution rights (as detailed further in Note 7) in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40-15-7D, whereby under that provision, because they have anti-dilution rights, they do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and are recorded as a liability. Accordingly, the Company classifies the warrant instrument as a liability at its fair value and adjusts the instrument to fair value at each reporting period. This liability is subject to remeasurement at each balance sheet date until exercised or until the anti-dilution provisions contained within the warrant agreements expire, and is classified in the balance sheet as a current liability. Any change in fair value of the warrant liability is recognized in the Company’s statement of operations as other income (loss).
	Impairment of long-lived assets
	Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment when circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. For assets that are to be held and used, impairment is recognized when the estimated undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset or group of assets is less than their carrying value. If impairment exists, an adjustment is made to write the asset down to its fair value, and a loss is recorded as the difference between the carrying value and fair value. Fair values are determined based on quoted market values, discounted cash flows or internal and external appraisals, as applicable. Assets to be disposed of are carried at the lower of carrying value or estimated net realizable value.
	Research and Development
	The Company expenses all research and development costs as incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the amounts charged to research and development expenses were $69,114 and $53,451, respectively.
	Software Development Costs
	The Company accounts for software development costs in accordance with ASC 350-40, whereby all costs incurred during the preliminary stage of a development project should be charged to expense as incurred. Capitalization of costs begins after the preliminary stage has been completed, management commits to funding the project, it is probable that the project will be completed, and the software will be used for its intended function. All post-implementation costs are charged to expense as incurred. Accordingly, direct internal and external costs associated with the development of the features and functionality of the Company’s software, incurred during the application development stage, are capitalized and amortized using the straight-line method of the estimated life of five years. The Company acquired internally developed software valued at $540,000 as part of the acquisition of the assets of NovaVision, Inc. on November 30, 2010 and $363,472 as part of the acquisition of the assets of Sight Science Limited on January 4, 2012. For the year ended December 31, 2014 the Company’s VRT 7.0 program completed the preliminary project stage, following which there was a capitalization of $73,413 of software development costs. Costs of $21,463 were capitalized for the Company’s NeuroEyeCoach program (prior to being brought into service in March 2014 with a total capitalized value of $119,106) and $29,784 for the NeuroEyeCoach Pro Physician Model.
	Uses of estimates in the preparation of financial statements
	The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimated. To the extent management’s estimates prove to be incorrect, financial results for future periods may be adversely affected. Significant estimates and assumptions contained in the accompanying consolidated financial statements include management’s estimate of the allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable, amortization of intangible assets, and the fair values of options and warrants included in the determination of debt discounts and share based compensation.
	Stock Compensation
	The Company recognizes the cost of all share-based payments under the relevant authoritative accounting guidance. Share-based payments include any remuneration paid by the Company in shares of the Company’s common stock or financial instruments that grant the recipient the right to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock. For share-based payments to employees, which consist only of awards made under the stock option plan described below, the Company accounts for the payments in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 718, “Stock Compensation” (formerly referred to as SFAS No. 123(R)). Share-based payments to consultants, service providers and other non-employees are accounted for under in accordance with ASC Topic 718, ASC Topic 505, “Equity Payments to Non-Employees” or other applicable authoritative guidance.
	Convertible Instruments
	We evaluate and account for conversion options embedded in convertible instruments in accordance with ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging Activities”.
	Applicable GAAP requires companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments according to certain criteria. The criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under other GAAP with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument.
	We account for convertible instruments (when we have determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments) as follows: We record when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt to their stated date of redemption. The embedded conversion option in connection with our convertible debt could not be exercised unless and until we completed a Qualifying Financing transaction. Accordingly, we determined based on authoritative guidance that the embedded conversion option is deemed to be a contingent conversion rather than active conversion option that did not require accounting recognition at the commitment dates of the issuances of the Notes.
	Common Stock Purchase Warrants and Other Derivative Financial Instruments
	We classify as equity any contracts that require physical settlement or net-share settlement or provide us a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in our own shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement) provided that such contracts are indexed to our own stock as defined in ASC 815-40 ("Contracts in Entity's Own Equity"). We classify as assets or liabilities any contracts that require net-cash settlement (including a requirement to net cash settle the contract if an event occurs and if that event is outside our control) or give the counterparty a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement). We assess classification of our common stock purchase warrants and other free standing derivatives at each reporting date to determine whether a change in classification between assets and liabilities is required.
	Fair Value Measurements
	We adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, which defines fair value as used in numerous accounting pronouncements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure of fair value measurements.
	The estimated fair value of certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses are carried at historical cost basis, which approximates their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying amounts of our short and long term credit obligations approximate fair value because the effective yields on these obligations, which include contractual interest rates taken together with other features such as concurrent issuances of warrants and/or embedded conversion options, are comparable to rates of returns for instruments of similar credit risk.
	ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
	Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
	Level 2 — quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable
	Level 3 — inputs that are unobservable (for example cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions)
	Net Loss Per Share
	Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed giving effect to all dilutive potential common shares that were outstanding during the period. Dilutive potential common shares consist of incremental shares issuable upon exercise of stock options and warrants and conversion of preferred stock and convertible debt. Such potentially dilutive shares are excluded when the effect would be to reduce a net loss per share. No dilution adjustment has been made to the weighted average outstanding common shares in the periods presented because the assumed exercise of outstanding options and warrants and the conversion of preferred stock and debt would be anti-dilutive.
	The following table sets forth the potential shares of common stock that are not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share:
		December 31,	December 31,
		2014	2013

	Recent Accounting Pronouncements
	From time to time new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other standard setting bodies that may have an impact on the Company’s accounting and reporting. The Company believes that such recently issued accounting pronouncements and other authoritative guidance for which the effective date is in the future will not have an impact on its accounting or reporting or that such impact will not be material to its financial position, results of operations and cash flows when implemented.
	In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This guidance requires companies to recognize revenue in a manner that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which a company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new standard also will result in enhanced disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. This guidance will be effective beginning in fiscal 2017, and early adoption is not permitted. The standard allows for either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective transition method. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard, including the transition method, on its consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

	On January 2, January 31, February 28, March 31, and April 25, 2014 the Company completed five separate closings (the “Closings” of an offering (the “Offering”) of Units comprising shares of common stock (“Common Stock”) (collectively, the “Shares” and individually, a “Share”) and Series A and Series B Warrants (collectively, the “Warrants”) (collectively, the “Units”) to accredited investors (the “Investors”) in a private placement. The Closings comprised the sale of an aggregate of $5,000,000 in the Units), which were issued pursuant to five separate Securities Purchase Agreements between the Company and the Investors in each of the four Closings. In the aggregate, the Company issued 2,777,808 shares of Common Stock, Series A Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,388,919 shares of Common Stock and Series B Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,388,919 shares of Common Stock.
	Each Unit was priced at $1.80 and comprised of one share of Common Stock, a Series A warrant (the “Series A Warrants”) and a series B warrant (the “Series B Warrants”). The Series A Warrants were detachable and were exercisable over a three-year term and were issued with respect to the purchase of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 50% of the number of Shares purchased by such investor at an exercise price per share of $2.05. The Series B Warrants were detachable and were exercisable over a three-year term and were issued with respect to the purchase of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 50% of the number of Shares purchased by such investor at an exercise price per share of $3.08. The Warrants are subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends or recapitalizations.
	Also on January 2, 2014, Fountainhead exchanged an aggregate of $1,426,542 of consulting fees owed to it by the Company for the Units issued in the Offering. In the aggregate, the Company issued to Fountainhead 792,523 shares of Common Stock, Series A Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 396,262 shares of Common Stock and Series B Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 396,262 shares of Common Stock.

On February 24, 2014, the holders of 15.15 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (representing an aggregate investment of $757,700) exchanged their Series C Convertible Preferred Stock and related warrants for an aggregate of 420,838 shares of Common Stock, Series A Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 210,419 shares of Common Stock and Series B Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 210,419 shares of Common Stock.

	The Series A Warrants and Placement Agent Warrants carried anti-dilution rights (which arose in the event the Company sold securities at a price below $2.05 within one year of the date that the initial Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC). Effective May 15, 2014 these anti-dilution rights were waived for all but 34,723 of the Series A Warrants and for all of the Placement Agent Warrants. Accordingly, 34,723 shares of Common Stock are subject to anti-dilution and are recorded as a derivative liability in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40-15-7D (see Notes 2 and 9)

The Fountainhead Parties will receive a number of warrants equivalent to 75% of the Company Common Shares issuable on conversion of the Series D, exercisable at $3.08 per share for a period of three (3) years from the date of issuance. If the Series D has not then been redeemed or converted within three years from date of issuance, the Fountainhead Parties will receive additional warrants equivalent to 50% of the shares of the Company Common Shares issuable on conversion of the Series D that they then hold, exercisable at the then market price.
	In August 2014, Fountainhead entered into an agreement with the Company preventing it from selling any Vycor Shares currently held by Fountainhead below $4.50. In return, the Company agreed to extend the life of certain of Fountainhead’s existing warrants expiring in 2015 to the same 3-year term as the warrants issued under the exchange of Fountainhead debt into Company Preferred Shares. The fair value of the extended terms was determined, using Black-Scholes, and recorded on the balance sheet, and the difference between fair value of the extended terms and of the existing terms of $146,488 was recognized in the income statement as loss on extension of warrants.

Share-Based Compensation	12 Months Ended

Share-Based Compensation [Abstract]
SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION	8. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
	The Company recognizes the cost of all share-based payments under the relevant authoritative accounting guidance. Share-based payments include any remuneration paid by the Company in shares of the Company’s common stock or financial instruments that grant the recipient the right to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock. For share-based payments to employees, which consist only of awards made under the stock option plan described below, the Company accounts for the payments in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 718, “Stock Compensation” (formerly referred to as SFAS No. 123(R)). Share-based payments to consultants, service providers and other non-employees are accounted for under in accordance with ASC Topic 718, ASC Topic 505, “Equity Payments to Non-Employees” or other applicable authoritative guidance.
	Stock Option Plan
	The Company adopted the Vycor Medical, Inc. Employee, Director, and Consultant Stock Plan (the “Plan”) as of February 13, 2008. The Plan provides for both incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options to be granted to employees, officers, consultants, independent contractors, directors and affiliates of the Company. The board of directors establishes the terms and conditions of all stock option grants, subject to the Plan and applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Incentive stock options must be granted at an exercise price not less than the fair market value of the common stock on the grant date. The options granted to participants owning more than 10% of the Company’s outstanding voting stock must be granted at an exercise price not less than 110% of the fair market value of the common stock on the grant date. The options expire on the date determined by the board of directors, but may not extend mare than 10 years from the grant date, while incentive stock options granted to participants owning more than 10% of the Company’s outstanding voting stock expire five years from the grant date. The vesting period for employees is generally over three years. The vesting Period for non-employees is determined based on the services being provided. The maximum number of shares of stock which may be delivered under the plan shall automatically increase by a number sufficient to cause the number of shares covered by the plan to equal 10% of the total number of shares of stock then outstanding on a fully diluted basis.
	Under ASC Topic 718, the Company estimates the fair value of option awards on the date of grant using an option pricing model. The grant date fair value is recognized over the option vesting period, the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. No compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service. Under these standards, compensation cost for employee cost for employee stock-based awards is based on the estimated grant-date fair value and recognized over the vesting period of the applicable award on a straight-line basis. For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, 20,000 and 0 employee stock options were granted.
	For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company recognized share-based compensation of $0 and $0, respectively.
	Stock appreciation rights may be granted either on a stand alone basis or in conjunction with all or part of any other stock options granted under the plan. As of December 31, 2014 there were no awards of any stock appreciation rights.
	The Company from time to time issues common stock, stock options or common stock warrants to acquire services or goods from non-employees. Common stock, stock options and common stock warrants issued to other than employees or directors are recorded on the basis of their fair value, which is measured as of the “measurement date” using an option pricing model. The “measurement date” for options and warrants related to contracts that have substantial disincentives to non-performance is the date of the contract, and for all other contracts is the vesting date. Expense related to the options and warrants is recognized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the period over which services are to be received or the life of the option or warrant.
	The details of the outstanding rights, options and warrants and value of such rights, options and warrants are as follows:

	Aggregate stock-based compensation expense charged to operations for stock and warrants granted to the above non-employees for the year ended December 31, 2014 was $376,662. As of December 31, 2014, there was $0 of total unrecognized compensation costs related to warrant and stock awards and non-vested options.
	Stock-based compensation resulting from the issuance of Common Stock is calculated by reference to the valuation of the Stock on the date of issuance, the expense being recognized as the compensation is earned. Stock-based compensation expenses related to employee options and warrants granted to non-employees are recognized as the stock options and warrants are earned. The fair value of the stock options or warrants granted is estimated at the grant date, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, and the expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the period over which services are to be received or the life of the option or warrant. The grant date fair value of employee share options and similar instruments is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model on the basis of the fair value of the underlying common stock on the measurement date, adjusted for the unique characteristics of those equity instruments, using the assumptions noted in the table below. The fair value of the common stock is determined by the then-prevailing private placement purchase price. Expected volatility was based on the historical volatility of a peer group of publicly traded companies. The expected term of options and warrants was based upon the life of the option, and the risk-free rate used was based on the U.S. Treasury Constant Maturity rate.
	The stock compensation expensed during the year ended December 31, 2014 resulted only from the issuance of Common Stock valued on the date of issuance. The following assumptions were used in calculations of the Black-Scholes option pricing model for warrant-based stock compensation in year ended December 31, 2014:
		Year ended December 31,
		2014		2013
	Risk-free interest rates	0.78%		0.42-1.60 %
	Expected life	3 years		3 years
	Expected dividends	0%		0%
	Expected volatility	75%		96-99%
	Vycor Common Stock fair value	$2.05		$3.00-$4.50

Fair Value Measurements [Abstract]
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS	9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
	The Company has adopted ASC 820 for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period. The adoption of ASC 820 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
	Under the terms of the Offering, during the period January 2 to April 25, 2014, in five separate closings, a total of 2,397,631 Series A Warrants and Placement Agent Warrants were issued as part of the Offering, which carried anti-dilution rights. Effective May 15, 2014 these anti-dilution rights were waived for all but 34,723 of the Series A Warrants and for all of the Placement Agent Warrants. The Company accounts for the Series A Warrants in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40-15-7D, whereby under that provision, because they have anti-dilution rights, they do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as a liability. Accordingly, the Company classifies the warrant instrument as a liability at its fair value and adjusts the instrument to fair value at each reporting period.
	The following table presents information about the Company’s liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis (the Series A Warrants described above) as of September 30, 2014 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value. In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical liabilities. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize data points that are observable such as quoted prices, interest rates and yield curves. Fair values determined by Level 3 inputs are unobservable data points for the liability, and includes situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the liability:
		December 31,
	Description	2014	Level 1	Level 2	Level 3
	Warrant Liability	$19,792	$-	$-	$19,792
	The table below provides a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances for the liabilities measured using fair significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):
	Balance at January 1, 2014	$-
	Issuance of Series A Warrants and Placement Agent Warrants as part of Offering Units on January 2,	2,103,195
	January 31, February 24, February 28 and March 31, April 25, 2014
	Change in fair value during period	252,633
	Reclassification to equity from waiver of anti-dilution on May 15, 2014	(2,336,036)
	Balance at December 31, 2014	$19,792
	The fair value of the Series A Warrants and Placement Agent Warrants was determined using a Monte Carlo Simulation. This model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected price volatility, which is based on the historical volatility of a peer group of publicly traded companies. Changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the estimate of fair value of the warrants and the Company’s results of operations could be impacted.
	The following assumptions were used in calculations of the Monte Carlo Simulation model for the year ended December 31, 2014 and 2013:
		Year ended December 31,
		2014	2013
	Risk-free interest rates	0.58-0.93%	-
	Expected life	2.09 – 3.00 years	-

	Deferred Income Taxes
	The Company has incurred net operating losses since inception. The Company has not reflected any tax benefit related to such net operating losses in the financial statements. Prior to August 15, 2007 the Company was a limited liability company and losses were passed through to the individual members, therefore the Company only has potential tax benefits from the date it became a ‘C’ corporation.
	Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company and its subsidiaries’ deferred tax assets at December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 are as follows:
		31-Dec-14	31-Dec-13
	Operating loss carry-forward	$4,800,000	$3,100,000
	Deferred tax asset before Valuation allowance	4,800,000	3,100,000
	Valuation allowance	-4,800,000	-3,100,000
	Net deferred tax asset	$—	$—
	In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income.
	The authoritative guidance requires a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if, based on the weight of the evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Based on the level of historical taxable losses and projections of future taxable income (losses) over the periods in which the deferred tax assets can be realized, management currently believes that it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize the benefits of these deductible differences. Accordingly, management has determined that a 100% valuation allowance is appropriate at December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.
	Net Operating Loss Carry-Forwards
	As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company had U.S. accumulated losses for tax purposes of approximately $13,800,000 and $9,000,000 respectively, which may be carried forward and offset against U.S. taxable income, and which expire during the tax years 2027 through 2032.
	Federal tax laws impose significant restrictions on the utilization of net operating loss carry-forwards and in the event of a change in ownership of the Company, as defined by the Internal Revenue Code Section 382. The Company’s net operating loss carry-forwards may be subject to the above limitations.
	As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company had German accumulated losses for tax purposes of approximately $740,000 and $620,000 respectively, which may be carried forward and offset against German taxable income subject to certain restrictions and limitations. Such carry-forwards are subject to certain restrictions and limitations in the event of changes in the NovaVision GmbH’s ownership.
	As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company had UK accumulated losses for tax purposes of approximately $180,000 and $140,000 respectively, which may be carried forward and offset against UK taxable income subject to certain restrictions and limitations.
	Tax Rates
	The applicable US income tax rate for the Company for both of the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 was 35%. Non-US subsidiaries are taxed according to the tax laws in their respective country of residence. The German applicable rate for both of the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 was 31.58%; the UK applicable rate for both the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 was 20%.
	US income taxes and foreign withholding taxes were not provided for on undistributed earnings of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries. The Company intends to reinvest these earnings indefinitely in its foreign subsidiaries. If these earnings were distributed to US in the form of dividends or otherwise, after the repayment of intercompany debt, the Company would be subject to additional US income taxes (subject to an adjustment for foreign tax credits) and foreign withholding taxes.
	Uncertain Tax Position
	The Company has recorded no liability for income taxes associated with unrecognized tax benefits at the date of adoption and has not recorded any liability associated with unrecognized tax benefits during 2014 and 2013. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded any interest or penalty in regard to any unrecognized benefit.

	Lease
	The Company leases approximately 10,000 sq. ft. located at 6401 Congress Ave., Suite 140, Boca Raton, FL 33487 from Catexor Limited Partnership for a gross rent of $14,260 plus sales tax per month. The term of the lease is 5 years and 6 months terminating July, 2017. The Company’s subsidiaries in Germany and the UK occupy properties on short term lease agreements. Rent expense for the year ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 was $202,083 and $182,197 respectively.
	Potential German tax liability
	In June 2012 the Company's German subsidiary received a preliminary assessment for Magdeburg City trade tax of approximately €75,000 (approximately $94,000). This assessment is for the 2010 fiscal year and relates to the Company's acquisition of the assets of the former NovaVision, Inc. An initial assessment for corporate tax for the same period has been preliminarily reduced to zero. The Company has not accepted this trade tax assessment and is in discussion with the relevant tax authorities with a view to its reduction. To the extent that this assessment, a higher or a reduced amount, is ultimately confirmed by the tax authorities, the Company believes it has a very strong claim against certain professional advisors which would offset the liability in full. Accordingly, the Company has made no provision for this liability for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013).
	Potential China Patent Infringement
	The Company was made aware in 2012 that a competitor had been granted a patent for related technology, and appeared to be entering the market with products that infringe the Company’s own issued patent. Following investigation, the Company initiated an invalidation of the competitor’s patent; in March 2014 the Patent Re-examination Board issued an Examination Decision invalidating all the claims of the competitor’s patent. The competitor appealed the decision, but the Company has contested the appeal. A final decision on the appeal is pending. The Company has, in the interim, also prepared to enforce its own patent against this competitor. The Company has also been made aware that a second competitor has filed a patent application for related technology and also may be producing a product that potentially infringes the Company’s patent, and has filed documents with the State Intellectual Property Office opposing grant of the patent application. As a general rule the Company intends to take all necessary action to protect its patent portfolio. As with all patent infringement actions, there is some risk that the accused infringer will not be found to infringe the claims, and an additional risk that the accused infringer will successfully challenge the validity of the asserted claims.

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation	Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
	The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Vycor Medical, Inc., and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, NovaVision, Inc. (a Delaware corporation), NovaVision GmbH (a German corporation) and Sight Science Limited (a UK corporation), both wholly owned subsidiaries of NovaVision, Inc. The Company is headquartered in Boca Raton, FL. The operations of Sight Science have been consolidated since January 4, 2012 the date of the completion of the acquisition of all the shares of Sight Science. All material inter-company accounts, transactions, and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain reclassifications and format changes have been made to prior year amounts to conform to the current year presentation.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition
	Vycor Medical generates revenue from the sale of its surgical access system to hospitals and other medical professionals. Vycor Medical records revenue when a completed contract for the sale exists, the product is invoiced and shipped to the customer. Vycor Medical does not provide for product returns or warranty costs.
	NovaVision generates revenues from various programs, therapy services and other sources such as license sales. Therapy services revenues represent fees from NovaVision’s vision restoration therapy software, eye movement training software, diagnostic software, clinic set up and training fees, and the professional and support services associated with the therapy. NovaVision provides vision restoration therapy directly to patients. The typical vision restoration therapy consists of six modules, performed on average over 6 months in the U.S. and U.K. and 10 months in Germany. A patient contract comprises set-up fees and monthly therapy fees. Set-up fees are recognized at the outset of the contract and therapy revenue is recognized ratably over the therapy period. Patient therapy is restricted to being completed by a patient within a specified time frame. NovaVision’s saccadic training software is generally completed within 2-4 weeks and revenue is therefore recognized fully at commencement.
	Deferred revenue results from patients paying for the therapy in advance of receiving the therapy.
Cash and cash equivalents	Cash and cash equivalents
	The Company maintains cash balances at various financial institutions. Accounts at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. Cash balances may at times exceed the FDIC insured limits. Cash also includes a US investment account in a money market backed by government securities up to 105% of the account balance. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Included within cash are deposits paid by patients, held by the Company until the patient returns the VRT device at the end of therapy. At December 31, 2014 and 2013 patient deposits amounted to $32,869 and $25,467, respectively, and are reserved against in Other Current Liabilities.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Receivable	Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Receivable
	We have a policy of reserving for uncollectible accounts based on our best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in our existing accounts receivable. We extend credit to our customers based on an evaluation of their financial condition and other factors. We generally do not require collateral or other security to support accounts receivable. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and maintain an allowance for potential bad debts if required. We determine whether an allowance for doubtful accounts is required by evaluating specific accounts where information indicates the customers may have an inability to meet financial obligations. In these cases, we use assumptions and judgment, based on the best available facts and circumstances, to record a specific allowance for those customers against amounts due to reduce the receivable to the amount expected to be collected. These specific allowances are re-evaluated and adjusted as additional information is received. The amounts calculated are analyzed to determine the total amount of the allowance. We may also record a general allowance as necessary. Direct write-offs are taken in the period when we have exhausted our efforts to collect overdue and unpaid receivables or otherwise evaluate other circumstances that indicate that we should abandon such efforts.
Inventories	Inventories
	Inventories are stated at the weighted average cost method. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price, in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs to complete and dispose of the product. If the Company identifies excess, obsolete or unsalable items, its inventories are written down to their realizable value in the period in which the impairment is first identified. The provision for inventory for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 was $17,200 and $35,000, respectively. Shipping and handling costs incurred for inventory purchases and product shipments are recorded in cost of sales in the Company's consolidated statements of operations.
Foreign Currency	Foreign Currency
	The Euro is the local currency of the country in which NovaVision GmbH conducts its operations and is considered the functional currency of this entity; the GB Pound is the local currency of the country in which Sight Science Limited conducts its operations and is considered the functional currency of this entity. All balance sheet amounts are translated to U.S. dollars using the U.S. exchange rate at the balance sheet date except for the equity section which is translated at historical rates. Operating statement amounts are translated using an average exchange rate for the period of operations. Foreign currency translation effects are accumulated as part of the accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and included in shareholders’ (deficit) in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Educational marketing and advertising expenses	Educational marketing and advertising expenses
	The Company may incur costs for the education of customers on the uses and benefits of its products. The Company will include education, marketing and advertising expense as a component of selling, general and administrative costs as such costs are incurred.
Income taxes	Income taxes
	We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes.” Under this method, income tax expense is recognized for the amount of: (i) taxes payable or refundable for the current year and (ii) deferred tax consequences of temporary differences resulting from matters that have been recognized in an entity’s financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if based on the weight of the available positive and negative evidence, it is more likely than not some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
	ASC Topic 740.10.30 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC Topic 740.10.40 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. We have no material uncertain tax positions for any of the reporting periods presented.
Fixed assets	Fixed assets
	Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided for on a straight-line basis over the useful lives of the assets. Expenditures for additions and improvements are capitalized; repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.
Derivative Liability	Derivative Liability
	The Company accounts for the 34,723 Series A Warrants issued in connection with the Offering (all as defined in Note 7), the holders of which have not waived their anti-dilution rights (as detailed further in Note 7) in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40-15-7D, whereby under that provision, because they have anti-dilution rights, they do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and are recorded as a liability. Accordingly, the Company classifies the warrant instrument as a liability at its fair value and adjusts the instrument to fair value at each reporting period. This liability is subject to remeasurement at each balance sheet date until exercised or until the anti-dilution provisions contained within the warrant agreements expire, and is classified in the balance sheet as a current liability. Any change in fair value of the warrant liability is recognized in the Company’s statement of operations as other income (loss).
Impairment of long-lived assets	Impairment of long-lived assets
	Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment when circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. For assets that are to be held and used, impairment is recognized when the estimated undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset or group of assets is less than their carrying value. If impairment exists, an adjustment is made to write the asset down to its fair value, and a loss is recorded as the difference between the carrying value and fair value. Fair values are determined based on quoted market values, discounted cash flows or internal and external appraisals, as applicable. Assets to be disposed of are carried at the lower of carrying value or estimated net realizable value.
Research and Development	Research and Development
	The Company expenses all research and development costs as incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the amounts charged to research and development expenses were $69,114 and $53,451, respectively.
Software Development Costs	Software Development Costs
	The Company accounts for software development costs in accordance with ASC 350-40, whereby all costs incurred during the preliminary stage of a development project should be charged to expense as incurred. Capitalization of costs begins after the preliminary stage has been completed, management commits to funding the project, it is probable that the project will be completed, and the software will be used for its intended function. All post-implementation costs are charged to expense as incurred. Accordingly, direct internal and external costs associated with the development of the features and functionality of the Company’s software, incurred during the application development stage, are capitalized and amortized using the straight-line method of the estimated life of five years. The Company acquired internally developed software valued at $540,000 as part of the acquisition of the assets of NovaVision, Inc. on November 30, 2010 and $363,472 as part of the acquisition of the assets of Sight Science Limited on January 4, 2012. For the year ended December 31, 2014 the Company’s VRT 7.0 program completed the preliminary project stage, following which there was a capitalization of $73,413 of software development costs. Costs of $21,463 were capitalized for the Company’s NeuroEyeCoach program (prior to being brought into service in March 2014 with a total capitalized value of $119,106) and $29,784 for the NeuroEyeCoach Pro Physician Model.
Uses of estimates in the preparation of financial statements	Uses of estimates in the preparation of financial statements
	The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimated. To the extent management’s estimates prove to be incorrect, financial results for future periods may be adversely affected. Significant estimates and assumptions contained in the accompanying consolidated financial statements include management’s estimate of the allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable, amortization of intangible assets, and the fair values of options and warrants included in the determination of debt discounts and share based compensation.
Stock Compensation	Stock Compensation
	The Company recognizes the cost of all share-based payments under the relevant authoritative accounting guidance. Share-based payments include any remuneration paid by the Company in shares of the Company’s common stock or financial instruments that grant the recipient the right to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock. For share-based payments to employees, which consist only of awards made under the stock option plan described below, the Company accounts for the payments in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 718, “Stock Compensation” (formerly referred to as SFAS No. 123(R)). Share-based payments to consultants, service providers and other non-employees are accounted for under in accordance with ASC Topic 718, ASC Topic 505, “Equity Payments to Non-Employees” or other applicable authoritative guidance.
Convertible Instruments	Convertible Instruments
	We evaluate and account for conversion options embedded in convertible instruments in accordance with ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging Activities”.
	Applicable GAAP requires companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments according to certain criteria. The criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under other GAAP with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument.
	We account for convertible instruments (when we have determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments) as follows: We record when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt to their stated date of redemption. The embedded conversion option in connection with our convertible debt could not be exercised unless and until we completed a Qualifying Financing transaction. Accordingly, we determined based on authoritative guidance that the embedded conversion option is deemed to be a contingent conversion rather than active conversion option that did not require accounting recognition at the commitment dates of the issuances of the Notes.
Common Stock Purchase Warrants and Other Derivative Financial Instruments	Common Stock Purchase Warrants and Other Derivative Financial Instruments
	We classify as equity any contracts that require physical settlement or net-share settlement or provide us a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in our own shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement) provided that such contracts are indexed to our own stock as defined in ASC 815-40 ("Contracts in Entity's Own Equity"). We classify as assets or liabilities any contracts that require net-cash settlement (including a requirement to net cash settle the contract if an event occurs and if that event is outside our control) or give the counterparty a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement). We assess classification of our common stock purchase warrants and other free standing derivatives at each reporting date to determine whether a change in classification between assets and liabilities is required.
Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements
	We adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, which defines fair value as used in numerous accounting pronouncements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure of fair value measurements.
	The estimated fair value of certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses are carried at historical cost basis, which approximates their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying amounts of our short and long term credit obligations approximate fair value because the effective yields on these obligations, which include contractual interest rates taken together with other features such as concurrent issuances of warrants and/or embedded conversion options, are comparable to rates of returns for instruments of similar credit risk.
	ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
	Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
	Level 2 — quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable
	Level 3 — inputs that are unobservable (for example cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions)
Net Loss Per Share	Net Loss Per Share
	Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed giving effect to all dilutive potential common shares that were outstanding during the period. Dilutive potential common shares consist of incremental shares issuable upon exercise of stock options and warrants and conversion of preferred stock and convertible debt. Such potentially dilutive shares are excluded when the effect would be to reduce a net loss per share. No dilution adjustment has been made to the weighted average outstanding common shares in the periods presented because the assumed exercise of outstanding options and warrants and the conversion of preferred stock and debt would be anti-dilutive.
	The following table sets forth the potential shares of common stock that are not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share:
		December 31,	December 31,
		2014	2013
	Stock options outstanding	25,557	5,557
	Warrants to purchase common stock	5,911,715	1,404,599
	Debentures convertible into common stock	171,138	441,768
	Preferred shares convertible into common stock	1,110,438	239,265
	Total	7,218,848	2,091,189
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements
	From time to time new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other standard setting bodies that may have an impact on the Company’s accounting and reporting. The Company believes that such recently issued accounting pronouncements and other authoritative guidance for which the effective date is in the future will not have an impact on its accounting or reporting or that such impact will not be material to its financial position, results of operations and cash flows when implemented.
	In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This guidance requires companies to recognize revenue in a manner that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which a company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new standard also will result in enhanced disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. This guidance will be effective beginning in fiscal 2017, and early adoption is not permitted. The standard allows for either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective transition method. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard, including the transition method, on its consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
