Of these, 25 participants completed a self-guided eye-movement training programme in a clinical setting, for 2\u2009h per week over 8 weeks. To assess the feasibility of remote delivery, eight participants engaged with the same training platform at home. The primary outcome was maximum reading speed, measured binocularly using Minnesota Low Vision Reading (MNREAD) acuity charts. Visual acuity, depression, adaptation to vision loss and self-reported visual function measures were collected at baseline and following the training period.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Reading speed increased significantly from baseline following training, by an average of 23\u2009+\u200924.6 words per minute (wpm), representing a 55% gain. Median reading speed increased by an average of 22.6 wpm for the in-clinic group (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u200925) and 24.3 wpm for the home-based group (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20098).
