[Electroretinogram of the "pattern" type of eyes with medium grade myopia]

Presented are the results of examination in 30 persons (60 eyes) aged 12-18 years with axial myopia of medium grade (4.0 to -8.0 D sph). Detected were the disturbances of the bioelectric function of the ganglion cells of the retina. Pathological records of the PERG were obtained in 30 p.c. of examined eyes. The "pattern" type of electroretinogram has a diagnostic significance and may have a prognostic value in axial myopia.
