HUMAN ELECTRORETINOGRAPHY AS A GAUGE OF VISUAL PERFORMANCE.

Abstract

A short review of the clinical findings with the Cordis ERG apparatus to date is presented on: night-blindness, retinal detachment, rheumatoid arthritis, congenital aphakia, high myopia, primary and secondary retinitis pigmentosa, optic atrophy, glaucoma, trauma, cataract and neonates. A chart of the ERG patterns to be expected in most ophthalmological disorders has also been drawn up. Summaries are included of six manuscripts which are now in press or in preparation. Four new pieces of research equipment are described: three are special stimulators and one is a dual-channel ERG apparatus. The directions in which the research is now headed are noted and compared to those which were summarized in our last report. (Author)
