The updated International Society for Clinical Electrophysiology of Vision standard refines pattern electroretinogram (PERG) testing protocols. This ensures higher quality macular and retinal ganglion cell function assessments for better clinical comparison.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Neuroscience
  • Visual Electrophysiology

Background:

  • The pattern electroretinogram (PERG) assesses macular and retinal ganglion cell function.
  • Previous ISCEV PERG standards (2007 and earlier) required updates.
  • Clinical PERG testing needs standardized protocols for quality and comparability.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To revise and update the International Society for Clinical Electrophysiology of Vision (ISCEV) PERG Standard.
  • To establish a unified minimum protocol for clinical PERG testing.
  • To improve the quality and inter-laboratory comparability of PERG responses.

Main Methods:

  • Revision of the ISCEV PERG Standard, updating previous versions.
  • Tightening stimulus specifications for PERG testing.
