    Summary

    This study introduces new equipment for early receptor potential (ERP) recordings. ERP analysis aids in diagnosing retinal diseases like retinitis pigmentosa and monochromatism, showing distinct patterns in affected eyes.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Neuroscience
    • Medical instrumentation

    Background:

    • Early receptor potential (ERP) recordings are crucial for assessing retinal function.
    • Clinical routine requires efficient and reliable methods for ERP analysis.
    • Understanding ERP alterations in various retinal diseases is vital for diagnosis and management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce an apparatus and electrode for routine clinical early receptor potential recordings.
    • To evaluate the diagnostic utility of ERP in differentiating normal eyes from those with retinal diseases.
    • To characterize ERP waveform changes in specific conditions such as retinitis pigmentosa, localized retinal affections, and monochromatism.

    Main Methods:

    • Development and implementation of a new apparatus and electrode for clinical ERP recordings.
    • Comparison of ERP parameters (R1 and R2 amplitudes, time course) between 180 normal eyes and eyes with diagnosed retinal diseases.
    • Analysis of ERP data in patients with retinitis pigmentosa, circumscribed retinal affectations, and monochromatism.

    Main Results:

    • Retinitis pigmentosa patients exhibited decreased R1 and R2 amplitudes and a faster time course.
    • Eyes with localized retinal diseases showed varied amplitudes, often overlapping with normal ranges.
    • Monochromatism cases were definitively diagnosed by the absence of the R1 wave in ERP recordings.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed apparatus and electrode are suitable for clinical routine ERP recordings.
    • ERP analysis provides valuable diagnostic information for various retinal diseases.
    • Specific ERP alterations, like the absence of R1 in monochromatism, offer clear diagnostic markers.
