General Ophthalmology

With visual electrophysiology you can: 

  • Detect and monitor macular degeneration with longitudinal studies 
  • Screen for retinal toxicity from Plaquenil and other medications  
  • Assess damage from diabetic retinopathy 
  • Diagnose genetic vision conditions 

Retina Specialty

With visual electrophysiology and psychophysics, you can: 

  • Identify specific inherited retinal disorders (IRDs) 
  • Establish disease severity and progression  
  • Assess impact of therapies

Glaucoma Specialty

Visual electrophysiology can:  

  • Establish baseline measurements once high intraocular pressure is detected 
  • Provide objective functional testing to complement structural imaging 
  • Provide additional information to help diagnose, manage, and track treatment efficacy of glaucoma 

Pediatric Ophthalmology

Visual electrophysiology can inform the treatment of: 

  • Children suspected of hereditary retinal conditions  
  • Children who exhibit poor vision or poor visual behavior  
  • Children showing symptoms of nyctalopia, photophobia, or difficulty adjusting to light conditions

Neuro-Ophthalmology

Visual electrophysiology can: 

  • Distinguish between optic nerve diseases, retinal diseases, and functional vision loss 
  • Identify and monitor damage to the optic nerve  
  • Examine unexplained vision loss  
  • Be used as biomarkers for neurodegenerative diseases
