Comparing objective visual fields, multifocal electroretinogram (mfERG) and Humphrey Visual Field Analyser (HVFA) show variable agreement. Differences in retinal adaptation and methodology impact their quantitative comparison in retinal disease.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Neuroscience
  • Visual Science

Background:

  • Multifocal electroretinogram (mfERG) provides objective visual fields, but quantitative agreement with Humphrey Visual Field Analyser (HVFA) varies.
  • Discrepancies may stem from differing methodologies, response generation sites, adaptation levels, and threshold vs. suprathreshold responses.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare mfERG and psychophysical thresholds under matched stimulus parameters.
  • To assess the influence of technique and adaptation level on mfERG and psychophysical responses.
  • To model the relationship between HVFA and mfERG in retinal disease.

Main Methods:

  • Obtained psychophysical and mfERG thresholds across adaptation levels (1.5-4.0 log td) and retinal locations.
  • Fitted increment threshold-versus-intensity functions using logT=logT(0)+log((A+A(0))/A(0))(n).

Related Experiment Videos

  • Applied a two-site adaptation model to predict HVFA threshold and mfERG amplitude relationships in retinal disease.

    • Main Results:

    • mfERG data showed A(0) values one log unit higher than psychophysical data.
    • The slope (n) for mfERG data was shallower (0.8) compared to psychophysical data (1.0).
    • Retinal disease effects on visual fields depend on disease site, mechanism, and retinal gain models.

    Conclusions:

    • A direct one-to-one relationship between HVFA threshold loss and mfERG amplitude reduction is not predicted.
    • The relationship is contingent on the specific retinal disease's characteristics and the assumed retinal gain model.
    • Understanding these differences is crucial for accurate interpretation of visual field data.
