    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To investigate the scope of scotopic multifocal visual evoked potentials (mfVEPS) for the assessment of scotopic visual fields. METHODS: Pattern-reversal mfVEP for photopic (mfVEPP) and scotopic conditions (mfVEPS; 0.003 cd/m2) were recorded from 36 visual field locations of a circular checkerboard pattern (25° radius) in 9 participants with normal vision. MfVEPP were recorded with a conventional central fixation cross, mfVEPS were recorded (i) with (mfVEPS+) and (ii) without (mfVEPS-) an additional fixation aid. Latency shifts were determined using cross-correlations, mfVEP magnitudes were analysed in an eccentricity dependent manner using signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs). RESULTS: In comparison to mfVEPP, mfVEPS- and mfVEPS+ were delayed by 101 ms and 97 ms, respectively, and had smaller signal-to-noise-ratios. Both mfVEPS were reduced down to noise level in the center and also severely reduced for the most peripheral stimulus eccentricity used. The visual-field-coverage for the paracentral eccentricities of mfVEPS+ and mfVEPS- was 76% and 65% [4°-9°], respectively, and 79% and 66% [9°-16°]. CONCLUSIONS: MfVEPS were delayed compared to mfVEPP and demonstrated the expected central response drop-out typical for scotopic vision. SIGNIFICANCE: MfVEPS may hold promise of an objective, spatially resolved visual field test which motivates testing it in patients with diseases affecting scotopic vision.
