Comparison of the handheld RETeval ERG system with a routine ERG system in healthy adults and in paediatric patients.

Background: Electroretinograms (ERG) are necessary for the evaluation of retinal function, however testing children is challenging and only performed at a few specialised centres. The handheld RETeval ERG instrument could prove a valuable tool for clinicians in assessing retinal function. This study evaluates this device using an ISCEV approved modified paediatric protocol and compares it to standard methods using a photic stimulator.
