The effect of age on full-field electroretinograms recorded with skin electrodes.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The aim of this study was to determine whether age correlates with amplitude and latency, when full-field electroretinography (ERG) is performed using skin electrodes. The ability of pulse reference power line noise reduction (PURE) to dampen the noise associated with the use of skin electrodes, was also investigated.

Methods

ERG was performed on 77 eyes in 77 healthy subjects (mean age: 55.6±19.0 years; age range: 9 to 86 years). Subjects with -5D or higher myopia, Emery-Little grade III or higher cataracts, retinal disease, uveitis, glaucoma, ≤5 mm mydriasis, or a history of intraocular surgery other than cataract surgery, were excluded. The active, reference, and ground electrodes were placed on the lower eyelid, outer canthus, and earlobe, respectively. Respon
