[Physiologic principles of studying visual functions].

Abstract:

:The retinal coding system for visual information comprises three important steps: 1) hyper- and depolarization of the sensory cells as the active basis for perception of light and dark; 2) reaction solely to changes in the bipolar cell on/off system, as a consequence of the action of the horizontal cells with the receptive fields, as a basis for adaptation to brightness and glare; and 3), under the influence of the amacrine cells, important time-space functions as a basis for visual perception of movement. The signal form, which changes over from analog to digital in the ganglion cell system, also results from this last step. therefore, both latencies and amplitudes (VEP) are important criteria for long signal response paths. Taking the examples of "statistical perimetry", visual acuity testing, and examination of contrast sensitivity, clinically relevant methodological problems from signal detection theory are illustrated: there are no "certain" measured values. This uncertainty and the age-dependence of normal values make it difficult to identify pathologic conditions, though trend analyses can help. As the sizes of the retinal areas examined by these methods differ so widely, correlations between the various examination methods are theoretically possible; but one method can never be substituted by another. In routine practice, to detect pathology early, one will sometimes deviate from the prescribed examination method (vision tests with low contrast for visual acuity).
