Several papers have appeared in relation to the classical ERG in diabetic retinopathy. François and Derouck³ recorded the ERG in advanced diabetic retinopathy exhibiting numerous hemorrhages and exudates and saw the values in normal limits. Müller-Limmroth⁴ and Schmöger⁵ stated that in the early stage of diabetic retinopathy the ERG was found to be normal. Jacobson⁶ believes that diabetic retinopathy usually does not compromise the ERG amplitude until the disease has reached far advanced stages, such as retinitis proliferans and detachment of the retina. Straub⁷ examined the ERG's of 24 diabetic patients with slight retinopathy, demonstrating that the ERG was normal in 20 cases and subnormal in . . . [Full Text PDF of this Article]
