| BVMOT | Bender Visual-Motor Gestalt Test |
|---|---|
| CVF | cardiovascular failure; central visual field; cervicovaginal fluid; cobra venom factor |
| DTVMI | developmental test of visual motor integration |
| DTVP | developmental test of visual perception |

| visual threshold | Threshold of visual sensation, the minimal light intensity evoking a visual sensation. Synonym: achromatic threshold, minimum light threshold. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| visual violet | A visual pigment, composed of 11-cis-retinal bound to an opsin, found in the cones of the retina. Synonym: visual violet. Origin: G. Ion, violet, + ops, eye, + -in (05 Mar 2000) |
| visual yellow | The orange retinaldehyde resulting from the action of light on the rhodopsin of the retina, which converts the 11-cis-retinal component of the rhodopsin to all-trans-retinal plus opsin. Synonym: trans-retinal, visual yellow. (05 Mar 2000) |

| evoked potentials, visual | The electric response evoked in the cerebral cortex by visual stimulation or stimulation of the visual pathways. (12 Dec 1998) |
| functional visual loss | An apparent loss of visual acuity or visual field with no substantiating physical signs; often due to a natural concern about visual loss combined with suggestibility and a fear of the worst; best treated with reassurance. (05 Mar 2000) |
