Authors' objectives:
This report reviews the effectiveness, safety and cost-effectiveness of visual electrodiagnosis (VED), which is used to study a variety of eye diseases.
Authors' recommendations:
On the strength of evidence pertaining to visual electrodiagnostic tests, MSAC recommends that:
1. public funding be supported for the following well-established tests recognised by the International Society of Clinical Electrophysiology of Vision: - electroretinography - pattern electroretinography - dark adaptometry - electrooculography - visual evoked responses; and
2. due to insufficient evidence, public funding should not be supported at this time for the following tests: - focal electroretinography - multifocal electroretinography - multifocal visual evoked potential - scotopic threshold response - intensity response function.
