  1. All procedures and measurements of analyzed data.
  2. V vertical training group, H horizontal training group; wpm words per minute; HFD hemianopic field defect; IQR interquartile range; ft Friedman test; w post hoc Wilcoxon signed-rank test; Z test-statistics (Wilcoxion signed rank test), no Bonferroni correction (closed testing procedure), n number of patients, p significance value.
  3. The values of RS-print are from our previous paper36.
  4. Reading speed of printed paragraphs (IReST), in horizontal (RS-print-H) and vertical (RS-print-V) direction and reading speed of short sentences on the screen during eye tracking (Radner) in horizontal (RS-screen-H) and vertical (RS-screen-V) direction. Correlations between RS-print and RS-screen.
