Utility of isolated-check visual evoked potential technique in dysthyroid optic neuropathy.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To analyze the utility of isolated-check visual evoked potential (icVEP) for discriminating between eyes with dysthyroid optic neuropathy (DON) and eyes with thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO) but not DON.

Methods

Forty-three eyes with TAO but not DON (as non-DON), fifty-three eyes with DON, and sixty healthy eyes (as controls) were included. Comprehensive ophthalmic examinations, including best-corrected visual acuity, refraction, color vision test, intraocular pressure measurement, slit-lamp biomicroscopy, ophthalmoscopy, RAPD, exophthalmometry measurements, pVEP test, icVEP test, standard automated perimetry, and clinical activity score classification of TAO, as well as demographic information, were collected and analyzed.

Results

In the DON group, the
