title: [Determination of visual acuity by the visually evoked cortical potential (author's transl)].
abstract: Monocularly evoked cortical potentials were recorded monopolarly (3 cm above Prot. occ. ext. sup.) to steady-state checkerboard stimuli (check sizes 1.4 to 26  min, rev. freq. 7/s, mean luminance 10.8 cd/m2, field diameter 4.5 deg., centr. fix.). For a number of visual acuities (obtained by inserting plus lenses up to 3.0 dpt) the smallest check size evoking reliable VECPs was related to the visual acuities obtained at a visual test chart. The use of 20 instead of 100 per cent contrast stimuli provided a significant decrease of slope of threshold check size versus visual acuity, resulting in a three-fold increase in the resolution of data. The method permits the evaluation of visual acuities between 0.1 and 1.0 in normals and patients within limits of +/- log 0.1 (1 sigma) and +/- log 0.2 visual acuity (2 sigma).
