Abstract
- Visual evoked potentials (VEPs) are especially useful for evaluating patients with visual pathway involvement but no objective findings on ophthalmic examination. To apply VEPs appropriately in clinical practice, clinicians should be well aware of the standard test techniques and various factors affecting the interpretation of VEPs to detect visual pathway abnormalities. This article summarizes the method for recording VEPs and the technical and physiologic factors associated with VEPs.
