  • Title: Pattern electroretinogram peak times as a clinical means of discriminating retinal from optic nerve disease.
    Author: Lorenz R, Dodt E, Heider W.
    Journal: Doc Ophthalmol; 1989 Mar; 71(3):307-20. PubMed ID: 2776633.
    Abstract:
    Fifty-two patients with unilateral or bilateral retinal or optic nerve disease exhibited abnormal peak times and/or amplitudes in the pattern electroretinogram. While this abnormality in patients with optic nerve diseases was confined to an amplitude reduction, 40% of the eyes with retinal diseases exhibited additionally a peak time delay of the p and/or q component. We conclude that recording of pattern electroretinogram peak times provides an additional means to distinguish retinal from optic nerve diseases.
