    A new gold foil electrode enables comfortable pattern electroretinography (PERG) for diagnosing early macular disease. This reusable electrode provides reliable diagnostic responses in normal subjects.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Neuroscience
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Background:

    • Pattern electroretinography (PERG) is crucial for assessing retinal function.
    • Existing PERG electrodes can be uncomfortable and have limited reusability.
    • Early diagnosis of macular diseases is essential for effective treatment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the construction and utility of a novel gold foil electrode for PERG.
    • To evaluate the comfort, reusability, and diagnostic performance of the new electrode.

    Main Methods:

    • A multilaminated gold foil electrode was constructed using Mylar splicing tabs and fine wire.
    • The electrode's comfort was assessed over 20 minutes with topical anesthetic.
    • PERG was performed using a television-based checkerboard pattern stimulator.

  • Responses were recorded in normal subjects under specific stimulus conditions (contrast, luminance, reversal rate, field size, check size).

    • Main Results:

    • The gold foil electrode demonstrated comfort for 20-minute sessions.
    • The electrode was reusable for at least 20 sessions.
    • PERG responses of 10-20 microV were obtained in 80% of normal subjects (control values 4-5 microV).

    Conclusions:

    • The novel gold foil electrode is a comfortable, reusable, and effective tool for PERG.
    • This method shows promise for the early diagnosis of macular diseases.
    • The findings support the clinical utility of this new PERG electrode design.
