Electroretinogram abnormalities in non-infectious uveitis often persist.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

In uveitis, a prolonged implicit time of the cone b-wave is a characteristic electroretinogram (ERG) abnormality. We investigated whether this can improve or deteriorate over time and which clinical factors are associated with change.

Methods

Prospective cohort study. Patients with a non-infectious uveitis were included. An ERG was measured in the first year of uveitis onset and a follow-up ERG one year later. Changes in the implicit time of the cone b-wave were investigated in relation to clinical parameters including the following: demographics, uveitis characteristics, treatment, best-corrected visual acuity, optical coherence tomography parameters and fluorescein angiography scores.

Results

Of 98 eyes (63 patients), 40 showed a prolonged cone b-wave on the
