Documenta Ophthalmologica Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary and conclusion

  1. 1)

    It is possible to determine abnormalities in the flicker ERG of patients with lesions of the photopic system whose responses to single flash ERG may be normal.

  2. 2)

    It is possible to record flicker ERGs from normal patients up to 80 per second.

  3. 3)

    The advantages of utilization of stimulus lights and background lights of several spectral compositions is demonstrated.

Résumé et conclusion

  1. 1.

    Il est possible de déterminer des anomalies dans le “flicker” ERG des malades des lésions du système photopique, dont les réponses aux stimuli isolés sont normales.

  2. 2.

    Il est possible d'enregistrer des réponses électrorétinographiques de sujets normaux jusqu'à 80 éclairs par seconde.

  3. 3.

    Les auteurs montrent les avantages d'utilisation des sources stimuli et des sources d'illumination de fond, de composition spectrale différente.

Zusammenfassung und Schlussfolgerung

  1. 1.

    Es ist möglich, Anomalien im Flimmer-ERG von Patienten mit Beschädigungen des photopischen Systems nachzuweisen, auch wenn das Einzelblitz-ERG völlig normal ist.

  2. 2.

    Es ist möglich, Flimmer-ERGs zu registrieren bei normalen Versuchspersonen bis zu 80 Blitze pro Sekunde.

  3. 3.

    Die Autoren haben die Vorteile der Benutzung von Reiz- und Hintergrundbelichtung von unterschiedener spektraler Zusammensetzung demonstriert.
