There is no ideal electrophysiological test for retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) function. The light-induced responses (EOG, c-wave, fast oscillation) that require photoreception are not pure RPE signals, and even the widely-used EOG has not been associated with any specific physiological disturbanc
Three members of a family in one generation were affected by a pattern dystrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium. The patients present typical hyperpigmented macular RPE lesions in a butterfly-shaped to (macro-)reticular pattern, and were all asymptomatic. Examination of 26 family members in 3 gen
