VEP (Visual Evoked Potential)
VEP (Visual Evoked Potential) is a safe and painless diagnostic test that measures the brain’s electrical response to visual stimulation. It helps evaluate the optic nerve and visual pathways from the eye to the brain.
Why is VEP Test Done?
- To check optic nerve function
- To diagnose optic neuritis, multiple sclerosis, and other demyelinating diseases
- To assess vision problems not explained by eye exams
- To investigate unexplained vision loss or blurred vision
- To evaluate children with developmental delays or poor vision
How is VEP Performed?
Electrodes are placed on the scalp, and the patient looks at a screen displaying checkerboard or flashing light patterns. The brain’s electrical responses are recorded. The test takes about 30 minutes, is completely safe, and does not cause any discomfort.
Benefits of VEP Test
- Early detection of optic nerve and brain pathway disorders
- Non-invasive and painless
- Helps in monitoring neurological conditions
- Useful in both adults and children
