Two of the main aims of BriSCEV are to promote and extend the knowledge of clinical electrophysiology of vision and also to provide guidance on education and training, and on professional standards.
ISCEV has published the following compilations of protocols. These have been made public access from the Springer website but can also be accessed below.
ISCEV standard for clinical pattern electroretinography (2024 update)
ISCEV Standard for full-field clinical electroretinography (ERG) - (2022 update)
ISCEV Standard for clinical multifocal electroretinography (mfERG) - (2021 update)
ISCEV Standard for clinical electro-oculography (EOG) - (2017 update)
ISCEV Standard for clinical visual evoked potentials (VEP) - (2016 update)
ISCEV Guidelines for calibration of stimulus and recording parameters used in
clinical electrophysiology of vision - (2023 update)
ISCEV and IPS guideline for the full-field stimulus test (FST) (2024)
ISCEV Guide to visual electrodiagnostic procedures - (2018)
ISCEV extended protocol for estimating visual acuity using VEP spatial frequency thresholds - (2021)
ISCEV extended protocol for the S-cone ERG - (2020)
ISCEV extended protocol for the stimulus–response series for light-adapted full-field ERG - (2019)
ISCEV extended protocol for the dark-adapted red flash ERG - (2018)
ISCEV extended protocol for the photopic On-Off ERG - (2018)
Information on professional guidance for scientists, optometrist and clinicians have been produced by the Academy of Healthcare Clinical Science (AHCS), the college of optometrists and the general medical council (GMC) respectively. Links to all three sets of guidlines can be found below.
AHCS - Good scientific practice (2021)
General Medical Council - Good medical practice
A set of SOP's from a university based lab has been made available by one of our members as a guideline for other labs that may be involved in preparing for either the CQC or IQIPS process. We hope to publish SOPs from a hospital based lab in the near future. Documents published by Alison Charig and Andrew Pellew-Nabbs, providing an introduction and other relevant topics for IQIPS are also provided below.
