Abstract
Objective : We examined the correlation between vertical kinetic visual acuity (VKVA) and pattern reversal visual evoked potential (VEP).
Subjects : Sixteen normal male volunteers with corrected visual acuity of 1.0 or better (age : 19-25 year-old).
Methods : Static visual acuity (SVA), VKVA and pattern reversal VEPs were recorded in all subjects and the correlations between VEP and logMAR visual acuity of SVA and VKVA were analyzed.
Results : There was no correlation between VEP and SVA. In VKVA, but there was an inverse correlation to the peak latency of N75 components of VEP, indicating that the peak latency of N75 decreased with the increase of VKVA.
Conclusions : We found a correlation between the peak latency of N75 components of VEP and VKVA. These findings suggest that the initial response of the primary visual cortex is related to VKVA.
