🧠 Patient Information: Visual Evoked Potential (VEP)
A Simple Test to Evaluate the Pathways Between Your Eyes and Brain
✅ What is a Visual Evoked Potential (VEP)?
Visual Evoked Potential (VEP) is a non-invasive neurodiagnostic test that measures how quickly and efficiently visual signals travel from your eyes to your brain. It helps detect optic nerve problems, visual pathway disorders, and neurological diseases like Multiple Sclerosis, optic neuritis, tumors, or glaucoma.
🔍 Why is VEP Done?
- Blurred or double vision
- Sudden or gradual vision loss
- Visual disturbances with neurological symptoms
- Monitoring diseases like Multiple Sclerosis
- Children with suspected developmental delays
📝 How is the Test Performed?
- You will be seated comfortably in front of a screen.
- Small electrodes will be placed on your scalp.
- You’ll be shown a flashing or checkerboard pattern on a screen.
- The brain’s electrical response to the visual stimulus is recorded.
The test is painless, takes about 30–45 minutes, and has no side effects
