Pattern electroretinogram (PERG) and computerized disc analysis show high agreement in detecting early glaucoma. Reduced PERG amplitude correlates with neuroretinal rim area loss, aiding early glaucoma detection.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Neuroscience

Background:

  • Glaucomatous optic nerve disease detection relies on methods like pattern electroretinogram (PERG) and computerized disc analysis.
  • PERG assesses ganglion cell function, while disc analysis provides morphometric data, offering complementary insights.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the results of PERG and computerized disc analysis in the same eyes.
  • To evaluate the correlation between functional (PERG) and structural (disc analysis) measures in ocular hypertensive patients.

Main Methods:

  • PERG and optic disc parameters were recorded in 114 eyes of 58 ocular hypertensive patients.
  • Optic nerve-head analysis was performed over a follow-up period of more than 6 months in 51 eyes.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • A significant correlation was found between reduced PERG amplitude and increased loss of neuroretinal rim area (P < 0.01).
  • 9 out of 11 eyes with significant neuroretinal rim area decrease over time exhibited reduced PERG.
  • No significant correlation was observed between PERG and optic disc area or PERG and overall rim area.

    • Conclusions:

    • High agreement exists between PERG amplitude and computerized disc analysis.
    • These findings suggest the potential for early glaucoma damage detection before visual field defects become apparent.
