Method and apparatus for objective electrophysiological assessment of visual function

摘要

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.
