title: [Multifocal visual electrophysiology in visual function evaluation].
abstract: Multifocal visual electrophysiology, consisting of multifocal electroretinography (mfERG) and multifocal visual evoked potential (mfVEP), can objectively evaluate retina function and retina-cortical conduction pathway status by stimulating many local retinal regions and obtaining each local response simultaneously. Having many advantages such as short testing time and high sensitivity, it has been widely used in clinical ophthalmology, especially in the diagnosis of retinal disease and glaucoma. It is a new objective technique in clinical forensic medicine involving visual function evaluation of ocular trauma in particular. This article summarizes the way of stimulation, the position of electrodes, the way of analysis, the visual function evaluation of mfERG and mfVEP, and discussed the value of multifocal visual electrophysiology in forensic medicine.
