Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Neuroscience
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Multifocal electroretinography (m-ERG) assesses retinal function.
  • Scanning laser ophthalmoscopes (SLO) offer precise retinal imaging.
  • Combining SLO with m-ERG allows for functional mapping.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To demonstrate the feasibility of topographic mapping of retinal function.
  • To utilize scanning laser ophthalmoscope evoked multifocal electroretinography (SLO-m-ERG).
  • To achieve simultaneous control of fixation during retinal function assessment.

Main Methods:

  • Employed a confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscope for m-ERG stimulation and triggering.
  • Utilized short m-sequences with a modified algorithm for independent measurement cycle evaluation.

  • Examined 78 normal subjects, applying distortion factors of 1:1 (n=62) and 1:4 (n=16).

    • Main Results:

    • Retinal function amplitudes decreased with eccentricity, correlating with cone density.
    • Higher amplitudes were observed in the central hexagonal element with a 1:4 distortion factor compared to 1:1.
    • Demonstrated successful topographic mapping of retinal responses.

    Conclusions:

    • SLO-m-ERG is a dependable method for creating topographic maps of retinal function.
    • The technique allows for precise assessment of retinal responses under fixation control.
    • SLO-m-ERG advances the capability to visualize localized retinal function.
