✦ Synopsis

We have examined the electroretinographic responses, the psychophysically determined course of dark adaptation and/or the scotopic and photopic (static) perimetric profile of the uninjured eyes of 11 patients with unilateral intraocular foreign bodies. Most of the patients showed subnormal ERG amplitudes over a range of light intensities, and subnormal light sensitivity in isolated retinal areas. The data suggest that eyes not directly injured by a unilateral traumatic ocular episode may show visual defects.
