[Results of investigations of visual evoked potentials in the treatment of amblyopia].

PURPOSE

The aim of the study is to demonstrate the changes in visual evoked potentials (VEP) in treatment of amblyopia.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

Pattern reversal VEP of 28 children treated because of amblyopia and 16 healthy persons were analysed. Before treatment and after treatment the results of the interocular amplitude difference ratio and interocular latency difference ratio were compared with standards.

RESULTS

After treatment of amblyopia the percentage of normal interocular amplitude and latency difference ratios increased.

CONCLUSION

Study of pattern VEP enables monitoring of amblyopia treatment.
