Visual Evoked Potentials

Visual Evoked Potentials (VEPs) are tests that measure how the brain responds to visual stimuli, like flashing lights or patterns. During the test, small electrodes are placed on the scalp to record electrical signals generated when the eyes see the visual cues. These signals help doctors assess the functioning of the visual pathway from the eyes through the optic nerves to the visual cortex in the brain. VEPs are useful for diagnosing conditions such as optic nerve damage, multiple sclerosis, and other neurological issues affecting vision. The procedure is safe, non-invasive, and provides valuable insights into visual health.
