    Electroretinography revealed distinct retinal function patterns in refractive errors. Myopic eyes showed reduced amplitude but normal patterns, while hyperopic eyes exhibited varied b-wave to a-wave relationships, not correlating with eye length or media refraction.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Neuroscience
    • Physiology

    Background:

    • Refractive errors, including hyperopia and myopia, are common visual conditions.
    • Understanding retinal function in these conditions is crucial for diagnosis and management.
    • The electroretinogram (ERG) is a key tool for assessing global retinal function.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To electroretinographically evaluate retinal function in patients with high refractive errors.
    • To differentiate ERG patterns in hyperopic, myopic, and aphakic individuals.
    • To explore correlations between ERG findings and ocular biometry in hyperopia.

    Main Methods:

    • Electroretinography (ERG) was performed on 31 hyperopic, 7 myopic, and 7 aphakic patients.
    • ERG responses were recorded in both light- and dark-adapted states.

  • Analysis focused on ERG amplitude and pattern, specifically the b-wave to a-wave amplitude relationship.

    • Main Results:

    • Myopic eyes displayed subnormal ERG amplitude but a normal pattern (normal b-/a-wave relationship).
    • Aphakic eyes showed normal ERG amplitude and pattern.
    • Hyperopic patients were categorized into three groups based on b-/a-wave relationships: subnormal, normal, and supernormal.
    • Hyperopic ERG patterns did not correlate with axial length or refractive error magnitude.

    Conclusions:

    • Retinal function, as assessed by ERG, differs significantly between myopia and hyperopia.
    • Hyperopia presents a heterogeneous ERG response profile, suggesting diverse underlying retinal mechanisms.
    • ERG patterns in hyperopia are not explained by simple variations in axial length or refractive error.
