Guidelines for basic pattern electroretinography. Recommendations by the International Society for Clinical Electrophysiology of Vision
Abstract
The pattern electroretinogram is a retinal response that can be evoked by viewing an alternating grating or checkerboard. It is receiving increasing clinical and research attention because it can provide information about inner retinal cells and the macula. However, clinicians may have trouble choosing between different techniques for recording the Pattern electroretinogram that have been described in the literature. The International Society for Clinical Electrophysiology of Vision has prepared guidelines for a basic pattern electroretinogram recording procedure to aid new users in obtaining reliable responses and to encourage more uniformity among existing users.
