Using flash visually evoked potential in predicting final visual acuity in severely injured eyes

  • Original Article
  • Published:
Annals of Ophthalmology

Abstract

This prospective clinical study was undertaken to assess the value of flash visually evoked potential (FVEP) in predicting postoperative visual acuity levels in severely injured eyes with opaque media. We found that FVEP testing at 10 Hz stimuli is of sufficient predictive value for postoperative visual outcome in most cases with severe eye trauma.
