Electrophysiology of Vision provides practical information on the clinical recording techniques, physiologic origins, and applications of electroretinogram (ERG), electro-oculogram (EOG), and visual evoked potential (VEP) tests.

Features:

• Provides in-depth discussions of the electrophysiologic findings of more than 120 clinical conditions-emphasizing when and why a specific test should be considered
• Presents an unsurpassed amount of data on the use of ERG, EOG, and VEP with an abundance of current references and more than 130 figures, illustrations and tables
• Describes classic electrophysiologic tests, as well as novel and specialized recordings-including a chapter that focuses on the effects of maturation, aging, and testing in infants
• Discusses retinal, optic nerve, central nervous system, and systemic disorders
• Thoroughly covers hereditary, degenerative, vascular, inflammatory, immune-related, infectious, toxic, and nutritional conditions
