Visual function testing: clinical correlations.
Visual function tests provide criteria to determine the extent and type of retinal malfunction in patients with retinal disease. This chapter provides an overview of some selected measures of retinal function that are useful as aids in diagnosis of retinal diseases, particularly those that involve the cone and rod photoreceptors.
