The visual function of patients with ocular diseases or lesions in the visual pathways and of normal subjects is measured objectively using electrophysiological techniques. These data are correlated with those obtained with psychophysical tests of visual function. The results obtained contribute to the diagnosis of ocular and neural disorders that affect vision and are needed to characterize their nature and evolution. They are also valuable in the assessment of the effects of different forms of treatment on the outcome of these diseases
