ABSTRACT
Clinical indications of visual electrophysiologic testing are evolving with the development of new electrophysiologic techniques. For instance, the rapid development of multifocal ERG has allowed assessment of local retinal function. The visual electrophysiologic tests are described in detail in Chapters 1-5, and the commonly available tests are summarized in Table 7.1. In addition, disease classification is also evolving with advances in the understanding of pathophysiologic mechanisms of established and newly discovered conditions. This chapter discusses issues pertinent to clinical use of ERG, EOG, and VEP and to disease classification.
