Visual Electrodiagnosis

Visual electrodiagnosis involves using specialized tests to evaluate how effectively the visual system transmits signals from the eyes to the brain. Techniques like visual evoked potentials (VEP) record electrical responses generated when visual stimuli are presented, helping clinicians identify issues in the optic nerve, retina, or optic pathways. This non-invasive method assists in diagnosing conditions such as optic neuritis, multiple sclerosis, or other neurological disorders affecting vision. By measuring electrical activity, visual electrodiagnosis provides valuable information about the functional integrity of the visual pathway, aiding in accurate diagnosis and guiding appropriate treatment plans.
