Influence of crystalline lens on VEP latency in elderly patients.
The study was performed to compare visual evoked potentials of old aphakic and pseudophakic patients (61 to 80 years) with age-matched controls. No differences were found between latencies of the two groups. Thus it seems that increased lens density of old subjects does not influence the processing of the visual stimulus.
