โฆ Synopsis
Electrooculographic recordings were performed in a series of patients with malignant choroidal melanoma. The amplitudes of the light peaks were reduced in all cases compared with the recordings of the normal fellow eyes. The amount of reduction of the light peaks appeared to be dependent on localization of the tumor. The electrooculograms of eyes with tumors of the posterior pole were found to be reduced significantly. Eyes with malignant melanomas located in the peripheral fundus displayed minor reductions.

To evaluate a recent report of malignant melanoma among printers, we used the Cancer-Environment Registry of Sweden, which links national cancer incidence and employment data. Employees in the newspaper printing industry had almost twice the incidence of melanoma than expected (p less than 0.01). El
Peak latencies of the light-induced slow electrooculograph oscillations of 61 patients were analyzed. The wide range of variation of the results of the control group obtained in this study did not allow inferences relevant for the differential diagnosis of retinal diseases. Most of the data were wit
