چکیده
Two important characteristics make this paraclinic method different from others; to be both functional and objective. Many ocular tests as angiography, ultrasonography and OCT are objective but not functional, and some, as perimetry and contrast sensitivity test are functional but not objective. This is why electrodiagnostic tests are problem solving and conclusive in equivocal instances specially when encountered to forensic or legal cases with probability of simulation.
