BACKGROUND To evaluate the functional recovery of patients with symptomatic vitreomacular traction (VMT) after Ocriplasmin treatment. METHODS Prospective, single centre, consecutive case series. Patients were treated with a single intravitreal injection of Ocriplasmin (Jetrea, Thrombogenics Inc, USA, Alcon/Novartis EU). The following outcome measures are considered: resolution of VMT, evaluat...

AIM OF THE STUDY To establish the normative database for multifocal electroretinogram (mfERG) parameters in a normal emmetropic population. To correlate the data so obtained with the central macular thickness obtained using the optical coherence tomography (OCT) scan. MATERIALS AND METHODS mfERG data were obtained from 222 eyes of 111 emmetropic subjects. The amplitude (nv/deg 2 ) and implici...

OBJECTIVES To determine the extent of functional changes in the first-order kernel multifocal electroretinogram (mfERG) responses in patients with large drusen by means of a localized analysis and to determine correlations between mfERG responses and morphologic changes. METHODS Thirty-one eyes from 20 patients ages 58 to 84 years with large drusen (> or =5 drusen > or =63 microm diameter) we...

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...

PURPOSE To evaluate macular function in patients with open-angle glaucoma (OAG) by means of multifocal electroretinogram (mfERG). METHODS Twenty-four OAG patients (mean age 54.6 ± 9.1 years) and 14 age-similar controls were enrolled. OAG patients had intraocular pressure (IOP) less than 18 mm Hg with topical medical treatment, 24-2 visual field (Humphrey Field Analyzer [HFA]) with mean deviat...

Aim: To assess retinal function by multifocal electroretinogram (mfERG) in children on atropine eye drops for the treatment of myopia. Methods: mfERGs were recorded in children receiving atropine eye drops (n = 48) once daily for 2 years and in those receiving placebo eye drops (n = 57) for a similar time. All recordings were performed between the second and third month of cessation of atropine...

INTRODUCTION Our purpose was to study the correlation between the macular morphology and function in eyes with retinitis pigmentosa (RP). METHODS Sixty-six eyes from 33 patients with RP and with different visual acuity (VA) were studied using optical coherence tomography (OCT) and multifocal electroretinogram (mfERG). Correlation analysis was performed between VA, macular thickness, mfERG amp...
