The effect of artificially induced image defocusing on visual acuities (VAs) measured by spatial frequency sweep pattern reversal visual evoked response (SPVER) and Snellen measurement was studied in six normal subjects. The steady-state SPVER was recorded using vertical gratings of 10 different spatial frequencies ranging from 0.52 to 30.36 c/deg. The SPVER acuity was compared with Snellen acuity (SA) measured under the same conditions of optical defocus. With moderate defocusing [< + 1.0 diopter (D), VA > 20/40], the SPVER acuities were equal to or poorer than the SAs. With more defocus (> + 1.5 D, VA < 20/70), the SPVER acuities became better than the SAs. The discrepancies between the SA and SPVER acuities may be the result of the influence of the parafoveal area on the SPVER at lower visual acuity levels.

Objective: To investigate the changes of sweep pattern visual evoked response (SPVER) acuity in different temporal frequency.
Methods: The persons were collected and divided into the low visual acuity group (71 eyes) and the high visual acuity group (92 eyes). The eyes were stimulated with different temporal frequency (8.

Purpose: In order to compare the amplitude-spatial frequency (A-SP) regression method with amplitude-logVA (A-logVA) regression methods in extrapolating the sweep pattern visual evoked potential (SPVEP) acuity.
Methods: We measured SPVEPs in 21 children and three adults using sinusoidally-modulated horizontal gratings as stimuli. The responses were averaged and displayed through discrete Fourier transformations.

Background: We compared the visual acuities obtained with preferential looking (PL), the most widely used method of pediatric vision assessment, with those obtained with the spatial frequency sweep pattern-reversal visual evoked response (SPVER).
Methods: Eighty patients (ages 1.5 months to 12 years) with various ocular pathologies participated in this study.

Background: We compared the vision objectively assessed by spatial frequency sweep pattern-reversal visual-evoked response (SPVER) with the Snellen acuity in patients.
Methods: SPVER acuity and Snellen acuity were measured in 100 patients with various ocular pathologies, including macular diseases, diffuse retinal degeneration, optic nerve diseases, glaucoma, and high myopia. For SPVER, 10 sinusoidally modulated vertical gratings were presented as stimuli.
