Course Description
Visual electrophysiology is a valuable tool in diagnosing retinal and optic nerve diseases, including inherited retinal diseases that currently can be treated using gene therapy. Recent developments in this field granted a comprehensive course that integrates basic concepts and clinical applications of this technology. All visual electrophysiology modalities (ERG, VEP, EOG, mfERG, PERG, mfVEP) will be reviewed, followed by clinical case presentations and discussion. We will emphasize the correct indication and interpretation of the different studies. A hands-on session will give participants practical exposure to performing visual electrophysiology studies.
