Description
Electroretinography has become a mainstay measures of vision function for glaucoma researchers. Its application to animal models of glaucoma have helped to elucidate pathophysiological processes.
The purpose of this presentation is to:
- Describe applications of the full filed electroretinogram (ERG) to further our understanding of retinal changes induced by acute and chronic intraocular pressure elevation
- Consider how blood pressure and intracranial pressure influences how the ERH is affected by IOP elevation
- Explore how quantifying ERG recovery following IOP elevation provides a sensitive index of the capacity for the visual system to cope with stress.
