    High intraocular pressure significantly reduces pattern-electroretinogram (P-ERG) amplitudes in patients. This indicates impaired retinal ganglion cell function due to reduced oxygen supply, highlighting a critical link between eye pressure and vision.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Neuroscience
    • Physiology

    Background:

    • Protracted elevation of intraocular pressure is a hallmark of glaucoma.
    • Retinal ganglion cells are crucial for visual processing and are vulnerable to ischemic damage.
    • Pattern electroretinography (P-ERG) is a sensitive tool for assessing the function of the inner retina.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the impact of elevated intraocular pressure on electroretinographic responses.
    • To assess the functional status of retinal ganglion cells in patients with high intraocular pressure.

    Main Methods:

    • Electroretinographic responses to pattern-reversal stimuli (P-ERG) were recorded.
    • Eight patients with protracted elevation of intraocular pressure were studied.
    • Intraocular pressure measurements were correlated with P-ERG amplitude.

    Main Results:

    • Intraocular pressures exceeding 30 mm Hg were associated with significant reductions in P-ERG amplitude.
    • A clear inverse relationship was observed between intraocular pressure and P-ERG amplitude.
    • These findings suggest compromised retinal ganglion cell function.

    Conclusions:

    • Elevated intraocular pressure detrimentally affects retinal ganglion cell function.
    • Reduced oxygen supply secondary to high intraocular pressure is a likely mechanism for P-ERG amplitude reduction.
    • P-ERG can serve as a biomarker for early detection of retinal dysfunction in hypertensive eyes.
