Purpose: To determine how the photopic negative response (PhNR) is affected in central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO).
Design: Observational case series.
Methods: Seven patients with unilateral CRAO were included. Full-field scotopic and photopic electroretinograms (ERGs) including the PhNR were recorded. Each ERG amplitude in the affected eye was expressed as a percentage of amplitude of the corresponding wave in the unaffected eye.
Results: Mean of the PhNR amplitude was reduced to 12.3 +/- 11.7% of that of unaffected eyes whereas the cone b-wave amplitude was attenuated to only 73.4 +/- 30.4%. This reduction of the PhNR amplitude was more significant than that of other waves including the rod b-wave, maximum a-wave and b-wave, cone a-wave and b-wave, and 30 Hz flicker ERG (P <.005).
Conclusions: The PhNR was severely affected in CRAO despite relative preservation of the cone b-wave, implicating massive loss of ganglion cells and their axons.

Myopic eye growth induces mechanical stretch, which can lead to structural and functional retinal alterations. Here, we investigated the effect of lens-induced myopic growth on the distribution of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) expression and intensity, and peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (ppRNFL) thickness in common marmosets () induced with myopia continuously for six months, using immunohistochemistry and spectral-domain optical coherence tomography. We also explored the relationship between cellular structural parameters and the photopic negative response (PhNR) using full-field electroretinography.

Purpose: To perform association analyses between the measurements of photopic negative response (PhNR) evoked by two ISCEV protocols.
Methods: A total of 172 eyes from 72 post-operative pediatric cataract patients and 24 healthy children were enrolled. The amplitude and peak time of PhNR were analyzed in three eye groups, 1.

Aim: To investigate the features of retinal ischemic injuries in a novel mouse model with bilateral carotid artery stenosis (BCAS).
Methods: BCAS was induced with microcoil implantation in 6-8-week-old C57BL6 mice. Cerebral blood flow was monitored at 2, 7, and 28d postoperatively.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore the succession of the central and peripheral neurovascular and microstructural impairments in patients with full-course diabetic retinopathy (DR), consisting of preclinical DR, nonproliferative DR (NPDR), and proliferative DR (PDR).
Methods: Our analysis included 81 participants (including 23 healthy controls, 23 with preclinical DR [diabetes without retinopathy], 13 with NPDR, and 22 with PDR) from the Guangdong Diabetic Retinopathy Multiple Omics Study. Retinal structure and function were evaluated and quantified using ultra-widefield swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography (UWF-SS-OCTA), electroretinography (ERG), and adaptive optics scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (AOSLO).
Associations of light-adapted electroretinogram in paediatric amblyopia.

Eye Hospital and School of Ophthalmology and Optometry, Wenzhou Medical University, Wenzhou, China.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate changes in the light-adapted (LA) electroretinogram (ERG) associated with paediatric amblyopia.
Method: A total of 220 eyes from 81 postoperative paediatric cataract patients and 29 healthy children were enrolled in four groups, namely controls, unilaterally amblyopic eyes, non-amblyopic fellow eyes and bilaterally affected eyes. Differences in LA ERG variables (peak time and amplitude of a- and b-waves and photopic negative response [PhNR]) were compared across groups, as well as their associations with visual acuity and changes in axial length.
