Using clinical and electrophysiologic measures, the visual pathway of patients who had multiple sclerosis, 20/20 Snellen acuity and no history of optic neuritis were evaluated. Delayed latencies were found in the transient visual evoked potentials (VEP) of 38% of the patients, and interocular latency differences were abnormal in 67%. Contrast VEP were abnormal in 46%. Psychophysical determinations of contrast sensitivity were abnormal in 78%. Only 17% of the patients had dyschromatopsia, 36% had afferent pupillary abnormalities and 59% had optic nerve pallor or nerve fiber layer loss. Psychophysical contrast evaluations and VEP studies were superior to other clinical evaluations in demonstrating visual dysfunction in these patients.
