Reference ranges of light-adapted full-field electroretinogram and associated factors in a large cohort of healthy school-aged children and adolescents.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

This study aimed to establish a reference data set of light-adapted full-field electroretinograms (ffERG) of healthy primary and secondary schoolchildren and investigate the relationship among refraction, ocular biometry, and ffERG.

Methods

Healthy children aged between 6 and 17 years were recruited. Cycloplegic spherical equivalent refraction (SER), axial length (AL) and keratometry (K) measurements were performed. Standardized ffERGs, including light-adapted flash and 30-Hz flicker, were measured using a portable device with skin electrodes. The percentiles of peak time and amplitude of a- and b-waves and 30-Hz flicker of ffERG waveform were reported, and their relationships with age, SER, AL, K were investigated.

Results

Among the 445 participants (45.4% fe
