title: Prognostic value of the visual evoked response.
abstract: 29 patients with visual defects have been followed up by serial recording of the visual evoked response (VER). Those patients in whom the VER was initially normal all made a satisfactory visual recovery. In others an initial attenuated response was followed by an improvement in vision and this was accompanied by normalization of the VER. A third group of patients with an initially subnormal VER have remained blind and the VER has shown no improvement.
