Abstract

ERG was checked by an instrument set up by authors in eyes with vitreous opacity with and without retinal disorders. It is composed of a preamplifier(frequency response of 0.3Hz~240Hz, gain of 80 decibel), Tektronix 5103N oscilloscope(with 5A18N dual trace amplifier and 5B12N dual time base). Retina was stimulated by Grass P22 photostimulator at settings of 1, 4, 8, and 16 light in tensities. Following findings were obtained; 1. Voltage of a-wave was much increased with little change of b-wave, when intensities of photostimulation was increased. 2. Definite ERG waves were recorded with high intensities of light stimulation, when low intensities failed to produce them. 3. Even in high intensities of light stimulation, oscillatory potentials were not recorded. 4. In case of diffuse retinal damage and vitreous opacities, peak time of a and b wave were markedly delayed as well as decrease of voltages.
