[Electrophysiological studies in amblyopia]

The authors describe the methods of recording the visual evoked potentials and of their utilization for investigations in amblyopia. The characteristics of VEP have been analyzed in an amblyopic and a normal eye; analyzed further on were the reciprocal dependencies between an uniocular and binocular records, the phenomenon of suppression and sensitivity to contrast. The authors confirm the suitability of the VEP for objective evaluation of the progress of treatment and for elucidation of the physiopathology of amblyopia.
