Visual evoked responses to pattern-reversal stimulation in childhood amblyopia.

Visual evoked responses to monocular and binocular pattern-reversal stimulation were recorded in ten normal and twenty-three amblyopic children. In twenty of the twenty-three children with amblyopia the responses were found to differ from those in the normal group in one or several of the following parameters: side difference of amplitude, side difference of latency, amplitude increase to binocular stimulation. The described method can be of value as an aid in diagnosis of amblyopia.
