Diagnosys Quick Reference Guide:
Industry leading functional diagnostics for the private practice
Explanation for patients:
This test is similar to an EKG, except that it tests parts of your visual system instead of your heart.
We stimulate your visual system using patterns of light and measure the electrical response in
the brain and the optic nerve. The size, shape, and speed of these responses can point to various
disorders of the visual system.
This test involves putting electrodes on the scalp and forehead (much like a sleep study) and
measuring the response as you look at an alternating checkerboard pattern of black and white.
