VEP in neuro-ophthalmic disease

  • Chapter
Evoked Potentials

Abstract

The visual evoked potential is increasingly used both in neurological and ophthalmic investigations. Previous authors have described the value of the visual evoked response or visual evoked potential (VEP) in the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis1 in field defects1 4 and in patients with suspected psychogenic blindness5,6. We have previously reported the use of the flash visual evoked potential in assessment through opaque media such as dense cataracts7 and major eye injuries8.
