Glaucoma detection is facilitated by luminance modulation of the global flash multifocal electroretinogram.
PURPOSE To investigate the variation of retinal electrophysiological function in glaucoma by using the global flash multifocal electroretinogram (mfERG) stimulation with altered differences in the stimulus luminance of the multifocal flashes, in an attempt to alter the levels of inner retinal contributions. METHODS The mfERG was assessed with a visual stimulus in steps of four video frames, w...
متن کاملThe multifocal pattern electroretinogram in glaucoma
BACKGROUND The pattern ERG can be used to detect early glaucomatous change, because the response of cells in the inner retina from (typically) 20 degrees -40 degrees of area is reduced before perimetric abnormality is certain. The multifocal pattern electroretinogram (mfPERG) allows analysis of many local regions within this area. The aim of this study was to investigate whether in patients wit...
متن کاملSlow flash multifocal electroretinogram in myopia
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to investigate the characteristics of retinal function in myopes using a modified multifocal electroretinogram (mfERG) protocol, the slow flash (sf-mfERG) paradigm, which is thought to primarily reflect responses of ON- and OFF-bipolar cells and emphasize the late response components. METHODS Twenty-eight subjects (10 emmetropes and 18 myopes) underwent m...
متن کاملHuman Electroretinal Responses to Grating Patterns and Defocus Changes by Global Flash Multifocal Electroretinogram
The electrical response of the retina was examined as a function of retinal region, using stimuli of various spatial frequencies in the first experiment. In the second experiment, the regional response of the retina to defocus at high and low spatial frequencies was investigated. Twenty three subjects were recruited for global flash multifocal electroretinogram (mfERG) in experiment 1. Black an...
متن کاملLow-luminance contrast stimulation is optimal for early detection of glaucoma using multifocal visual evoked potentials.
PURPOSE The blue-on-yellow multifocal visual evoked potential (BonY mfVEP) stimulus is more sensitive than the conventional black-and-white pattern-reversal stimulus in identifying early glaucoma. BonY employs pattern-onset stimulation and lower luminance contrast (40%) in addition to color. This study was conducted to elucidate the mechanism responsible for the enhanced performance of the BonY...
