Dark-adapted electroretinograms were obtained over a 3.6-log range of stimulus intensities from 17 black and 15 white normal subjects. Subjects were grouped on the basis of light or dark fundus pigmentation, determined from digitized fundus photographs. B-wave amplitudes for each group were fitted b

Cone electroretinograms are typically isolated by presenting stimulus flashes against rod-desensitizing adapting fields. To investigate the manner in which adapting-field luminance affects cone electroretinogram response properties, we measured cone electroretinogram luminance-response functions of
Normative dark-adapted electroretinograms were recorded simultaneously with a skin electrode and corneal electrode for varying stimulus intensities. The electroretinogram b-wave amplitudes for each electrode were fitted by the Naka-Rushton equation, and the parameters Vmax, K and n were evaluated. A
The mean of the spectral sensitivity of the rapid off-response in the ERG is significantly lower at 560nm and longer wavelengths (p < 0.005) in protanopia and protanomalia, as compared with normal control subjects.
