Is homonymous hemianopia ipsilateral or contralateral?

[1] HH can also be characterized as contralateral hemianopsia (unilateral involvement at the optic tract, lateral geniculate nucleus, optic radiations, or occipital cortex opposite to the side of field loss) in contrast to bitemporal hemianopsia (involvement at the optic chiasm).

Which terms refers to blindness in the right or left half of the visual field in both eyes?
