Abstract: For electrophysiological assessment of visual function using a head mounted stereo display (e.g. virtual reality goggles) for displaying a stimulus which is used to generate a retinal or cortical response. In particular, a method for objective electrophysiological assessment of visual function of at least one eye of a subject includes presenting a visual stimulus to at least one eye of the subject, recording at least one of a retinal response and, a cortical response generated as a result of the presenting; analyzing said response and, as a result of said analyzing, forming a map of the visual function of the at least one eye of the subject 6. The invention also relates to as system for such electrophysiological assessment.

Abstract: This invention relates to the electrophysiological assessment of visual function using a head mounted stereo display (eg virtual reality goggles) for displaying a stimulus which is used to generate a retinal or cortical response. In particular, the invention relates to a method for objective electrophysiological assessment of visual function of at least one eye of a patient, which method comprises presenting a visual stimulus to at least one eye of the patient, recording at least one resultant response, selected from the group consisting of a retinal response and a cortical response, generated as a result of the presenting; analysing said response; and as a result of said analysing, forming a map of the visual function of the at least one eye of the patient. The invention also relates to as system for such electrophysiological assessment.

Abstract: The multifocal pattern visual evoked potential (VEP) has been adapted to detect visual field loss as a form of objective perimetry, with specific application to glaucoma. Multifocal pattern stimuli are cortically scaled and presented using a standard system. In order to effectively record the visual field responses, a unique array of bipolar occipital straddle electrode positions are employed, overlying the occipital visual cortex. Multi-channel VEP recording is then performed using these electrode positions. The responses are combined from the channels to produce a representation of the visual up to 25° of eccentricity. Analysis of results to detect early field defects is enhanced by asymmetry analysis between fellow eyes, and by a scaling algorithm to compensate for inter-individual variations. VEP objective perimetry corresponds well with subjective Humphrey visual field defects, showing loss of signal in the areas of visual field loss.
