Reference ranges for clinical electrophysiology of vision.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Establishing robust reference intervals for clinical procedures has received much attention from international clinical laboratories, with approved guidelines. Physiological measurement laboratories have given this topic less attention; however, most of the principles are transferable.

Methods

Herein, we summarise those principles and expand them to cover bilateral measurements and one-tailed reference intervals, which are common issues for those interpreting clinical visual electrophysiology tests such as electroretinograms (ERGs), visual evoked potentials (VEPs) and electrooculograms (EOGs).

Results

The gold standard process of establishing and defining reference intervals, which are adequately reliable, entails collecting data from a minimum of 120 sui
