Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Before and after Treatment, all patients underwent neuropsychological tests, including visual scanning, an attention test, and a perimetry latter having a sensitivity and specificity for visual field defects similar to the Goldmann perimetry. For these tests, head movements were prevented by a chin rest in front of the monitor. Participants were instructed not to move their eyes and were monitored by the examiner. For assessment of visual exploration, we used the search tasks of the Behavioural Inattention Test, which include line, stars, and letter cancellation tests. Reading ability was assessed by the standardized texts of the Wechsler Memory Test.	—
