title: [Visual evoked potentials to a light flash in patients with optic nerve atrophy].
abstract: Informativeness of different methods used for registration of optic generated potentials in response to light flash (FOP) has been studied in 27 healthy persons and 21 patients (32 eyes) with partial atrophy of the optic nerve. It is shown that the most informative one for diagnosing optic nerve atrophy and determining visual acuity in such patients is a method of investigation of the critical incidence of rythm reproduction of FOP light flickerings. Considering the complexity and difficulty of the mentioned method for its practical usage, a simplified method is proposed; a registration of FOP of a stable state with the incidence of stimulations of 33 Hz, that allows to detect cases of pathology with visual acuity not less than 0.2.
