Abstract The lecture will use a case‐based approach to demonstrate the value of electrophysiological testing in the diagnosis and management of patients with nyctalopia. The diagnostic features of various inherited and acquired diseases will be described, including photoreceptor dystrophies, congenital stationary night blindness, fundus albipunctatus, melanoma associated retinopathy, vitamin A deficiency and others.
