Popis: OBJECTIVE To compare the grating visual acuity (VA) measured by visual evoked potentials (VEP) in phakic, aphakic, and pseudophakic Poodles. ANIMALS STUDIED Thirty-six Poodle dogs aged from 4 to 14 years. PROCEDURES Animals were allocated into three different groups according to their lens status: phakic group (n = 12), aphakic group (n = 12), and pseudophakic group (n = 12). Grating VA was measured in cycles/degree (cpd) in all animals using the electrodiagnosis system Roland RETIport® in a dark room without using any mydriatic, sedative, or anesthetic drugs. RESULTS The mean grating VA in the phakic, aphakic, and pseudophakic groups was 5.9 ± 1.0 cpd (20/102-Snellen equivalent), 2.6 ± 0.7 cpd (20/231), and 5.2 ± 1.1 cpd (20/116), respectively. The VA from aphakic eyes was significantly lower when compared to the phakic and pseudophakic eyes (P
