ELECTRORETINOGRAM

Electroretinograms (ERGs) are diagnostic test that evaluates the response of the cells in the retina (inner layer of the eye) to light stimulI. Many of our studies, especially in neuro-ophthalmology, utilize ERGs. These tests are used to detect and follow a number of eye conditions such as chloroquine/hydroxychloroquine toxicity, Leber’s optic hereditary optic neuropathy, retinitis pigmentosa to name a few.
