Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Neuroscience
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Glaucoma screening requires reliable and objective methods.
  • The pattern electroretinogram (PERG) is a valuable electrophysiological test for assessing retinal function.
  • Optimizing PERG protocols for specific clinical applications like glaucoma screening is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish normative data for a user-friendly pattern electroretinogram (PERG) paradigm, termed PERGLA, specifically designed for glaucoma screening.
  • To validate the reliability and ease of use of the PERGLA protocol.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective, nonrandomized case series involving 93 normal subjects aged 22-85 years.
  • PERG was recorded using a Ganzfeld bowl with a reversing black-white grating stimulus.

  • Skin cup electrodes were used for simultaneous bilateral recording with undilated pupils.

    • Main Results:

    • The PERGLA paradigm demonstrated a high signal-to-noise ratio (>13:1) and low variability (intrasession <10%, intersession <2%).
    • Interocular asymmetry was minimal, with CVs of 9.8% for amplitude and 1.5% for phase.
    • PERG amplitude and phase showed a decrease with age, with age-corrected confidence limits established.

    Conclusions:

    • The PERGLA paradigm provides reliable electrophysiological responses comparable to standard protocols.
    • The ease of execution and interpretation of PERGLA results suggest its potential for objective glaucoma screening.
    • PERGLA is a promising tool for both initial screening and ongoing follow-up of glaucoma patients.
