Rod and cone contribution to the EOG ratio.

A J Afanador, C E Andrews

    American Journal of Optometry and Physiological Optics
    |February 1, 1978
    PubMed
    Summary

    The Electrooculography (EOG) ratio, a retinal function test, was previously thought to be rod-only. New research shows a significant cone contribution to the EOG ratio in healthy individuals.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Neuroscience
    • Physiology

    Background:

    • The Electrooculography (EOG) ratio is a long-standing clinical measure of retinal function.
    • Historically, the EOG ratio has been attributed solely to rod photoreceptor activity.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the potential cone photoreceptor contribution to the EOG ratio.
    • To re-evaluate the underlying mechanisms of the EOG ratio in normal retinal function.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized scotopically matched red and blue light stimuli.
    • Measured and compared the EOG ratio responses to different light wavelengths in normal subjects.

    Main Results:

    • A 24% greater response was observed with red light compared to blue light.
    • This differential response indicates a non-rod component in the EOG ratio.

    Conclusions:

    • The findings demonstrate a significant cone contribution to the EOG ratio.
    • The established understanding of the EOG ratio as a purely rod-mediated response requires revision.
