Abstract
It has been demonstrated that in Parkinson’s disease VEP latency is frequently abnormal. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the possible existence of visual correlate to VEP changes in Parkinsonians. Therefore in the same group of patients VEP have been compared with the results of automated perimetry (Perikon and Peritest) and chromatic sense analysis (Farnsworth 100 Hue Test). Preliminary results indicate that the considered parameters are correlated. To establish if the visual changes are specific, the results obtained in the Parkinsonians are compared to those of a matched control group.
