What is VEP (Visual Evoked Potential)?
VEP (Visual Evoked Potential) evaluates the visual pathway from the eyes to the brain, and can help in assessing conditions such as optic neuritis and multiple sclerosis.
Visual patterns or flashes are shown while electrodes over the scalp record the brain’s electrical response, helping assess how well signals travel along the visual pathway.

Commonly used to help evaluate
- Suspected optic neuritis
- Assessing the visual pathway in demyelinating conditions such as multiple sclerosis
- Unexplained visual disturbance where an eye cause has been ruled out
How the test works
- Electrodes are placed on the scalp over the visual (occipital) region
- You are shown a changing visual pattern or flashes on a screen
- The brain’s electrical response to each visual stimulus is recorded and measured for timing
