Abstract

Purpose: The characteristics of children's reading interest, stimulated by the visual evoked potentials of colour graphics in children's picture books, were tested to explore their normal reference value. The characteristics of chromatic pattern visual evoked potential (CP-VEP) can be harnessed by our methodology and may be applied to the visual screening of children in clinical ophthalmology.

Methods: The PR-650 spectral colour metre can strictly control factors, such as brightness and colour retention, based on colour contrast. This is performed in order to reduce the brightness contrast method. In our paper, we set up three kinds of visual stimulation conditions and performed CP-VEP inspections of the eye, based on 64 cases (128 eyes) of normal children (32 males and 32 females). Using CP-VEP detection, the latency and amplitude of the P100 wave were recorded and the waveforms of each group, under different spectral modes were compared. Art therapy combined with children's colour physiology and psychology will be more skilfully practiced in clinical practice.

Results: There was no significant difference in the amplitude and peak time of visual evoked potential (VEP) waveforms between the left and right eyes of the children using the three stimuli, indicating that the visual function and visual conduction pathway of children can vary. There was no significant difference in the latency and amplitude of the NPN complex wave. Note that the P1 wave of the right and left eyes of normal children is not statistically different (P > 0.05). We also found that there is insignificant difference in the visual impact of the colours for both male and female children in terms of reading interest, and red is a more stimulating colour for both sexes.

Conclusion: Our study can provide normal reference value and methodological reference for clinical visual acuity detection in children. Combined with the visual characteristics of children, this paper selects the visual impact created by the colour of picture books and combines it with medical treatment. Make the whole test cover the scope of ophthalmology clinical more comprehensive.
