In 22 patients with clinically definite multiple sclerosis (MS) who were without visual symptoms and had a visual acuity of at least 1.0 in both eyes at the time of measurement, the following tests were performed to detect subclinical lesions in the visual system: visual evoked potential (VEP), contrast sensitivity test (CS), flight of colours test (FOC), colour vision test (Ishihara plates) (CV) and the pupillary light reflex (PLR). VEP was abnormal in 81.8%, CS in 72.7%, FOC in 36.4%, CV in 31.8%, and PLR in 52.3% of the patients. VEP and CS together were most sensitive: combining these techniques subclinical lesions of the visual system were detected in 90.9% (20/22) of these asymptomatic patients.
