Qualitative categorization of visual field loss: Right (R) bounded by 315° and 45°; Left (L) bounded by 135° and 225°; Superior (S) bounded by 45° and 135°; Inferior (I) bounded by 225° and 315°.
The extent of the PRL could not be estimated for Sub 12 because no physiological blind was mapped due to large right scotoma.
