Preface

Over the past decade, progress in clinical electrophysiology of vision has revealed better understanding of the relationship of retinal pathophysiology and the change of the parameters of electrophysiologic responses and the underlying mechanisms. This handbook, which includes recent updates of techniques, research, and data from clinical electrophysiology of vision, was written by Ophthalmic electrophysiologists/vision scientists, and ophthalmologists. We anticipate that clinical researchers and vision scientists will be inspired by developments toward the improvement of diagnoses and drug screening. Chapters 1, 2, and 3 illustrate the physiologic sources of electrophysiologic responses, the techniques of the recording, and the analysis of electrophysiologic signals. Chapters 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11 summarize the characteristics of the electrophysiologic signals in a number of disorders of the retina and optic nerve, which will help clinicians select the sui
