AIM: To study visual electrophysiological examination of pattern visual evoked potentials(P-VEP), fundus photography, visual field and optical coherence tomography(OCT), and to predict the relative examinations of glaucoma patients.<p>METHODS: Visual elctrophysiological examination, fundus photography, visual field and OCT were used to evaluate the glaucoma patients in 83 cases(95 eyes). The results of the positive rate was analyzed the relationship according to P-VEP, fundus photography, visual field and OCT.<p>RESULTS: In 83 cases(95 eyes), visual field inspection successfully acquired positive cases images of 73 eyes(76.8%), unable to get image 22 eyes(23.2%); Fundus camera image captured positive cases 75 eyes(78.9%), unable to get images of 20 eyes(21.1%); Get valuable the P-VEP in 47 eyes(49.5%), the P-VEP saw no obvious abnormal in 26 eyes(27.3%), unable to get images of 22 eyes(23.2%); OCT image captured positive cases 81 eyes(85.3%), unable to get images of 14 eyes(14.7%). <p>CONCLUSION: Visual elctrophysiological detection, P-VEP, fundus photography, visual field and OCT can predict the visual acuity of glaucoma patients.
