Visual evoked potential (VEP) is often used for the objective evaluation for impairment of visual function. Although these VEP-related tests have good results in the assessment of glaucoma, their application as routine tests in the clinical diagnosis of glaucoma is limited due to the time consumption and easy interference by the environment and the reliance on the experience of the doctors. However, several new VEP detection modes have emerged in the past decade, such as short-duration transient VEP and isolated check VEP. Preliminary studies have shown that both of them have good diagnostic ability in glaucoma, and more studies on the clinical application of these latest technologies are conducive to further understanding of their value in the visual function evaluation and follow-up of glaucoma. -.
