Abstract
The “fast oscillation” of the corneoretinal potential can be precisely examined by means of cyclic light stimuli and an automatic measuring device. This new procedure is carried out during the period of adaptation as part of the usual EOG-test. Normal values and some clinical findings are presented. The fast oscillation may provide additional information when compared with EOG and ERG results.
Zusammenfassung
Periodische Lichtreize und eine automatisierte Meßtechnik ermöglichen die sehr genaue Untersuchung der „schnellen Schwingung” des corneoretinalen Potentials. Mit der beschriebenen neuen Methode erfolgt dies ohne zusätzlichen Aufwand während der Adaptationsphase des klinischen EOG-Testes. Es werden Normwerte angegeben und über erste klinische Ergebnisse berichtet. Allgemein läßt sich feststellen, daß die schnelle Schwingung bei Erkrankungen im Vergleich zu den sonst im EOG und ERG erfaßten Größen in anderer Weise verändert sein kann.
