Multifocal visual evoked potential, multifocal electroretinography, and optical coherence tomography in the diagnosis of subclinical loss of vision

Multifocal VEP and mfERG techniques show promise for routine clinical use in neuro-ophthalmology. OCT is now used in many subspecialty areas of ophthalmology, especially in studies of the retina and glaucoma. Although neuro-ophthalmologists must still rely on time-consuming history taking and careful clinical examination, the three modalities described herein can provide objective proof regarding clinical diagnoses in selected cases, saving time and avoiding costly neurologic investigations.
