Purpose: To evaluate the ability of macular and multifocal (mf) pattern electroretinogram (PERG) to differentiate preperimetric glaucoma (PG) and glaucoma with hemifield loss (GHL) from controls, to compare the discrimination ability of PERG and fourier-domain optical coherence tomography (FD-OCT), and to assess the relationship between measurements.
Patients And Methods: Standard automated perimetry, steady-state and transient PERG and mfPERG measurements were obtained from PG (n=14, 24 eyes), GHL (n=5, 7 eyes), and controls (n=19, 22 eyes). Circumpapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (cpRNFL), full-thickness macula, and segmented macular layer thicknesses on FD-OCT were investigated. Measurements were compared using mixed effects linear models. The relationships between measurements and the diagnostic performance of each technology were assessed.
Results: Compared with controls, average P50 peak time transient PERG responses were reduced in PG and GHL, whereas average latency and amplitude steady-state and mfPERG responses were abnormal only in GHL. cpRNFL and macular thickness measurements in PG and GHL differed significantly from controls. A significant relationship was found between PERG and most FD-OCT or SAP parameters. Partial least squares discriminant analysis revealed that OCT parameters, along with mfPERG and transient PERG parameters had similar ability to discriminate PG and GHL from healthy controls.
Conclusions: PERG and OCT parameters may be abnormal, with significant correlations between measurements, in PG eyes. Both technologies may be useful for detection of early glaucoma.

The Pattern Electroretinogram (PERG) is an essential tool in ophthalmic electrophysiology, providing an objective assessment of the central retinal function. It quantifies the activity of cells in the macula and the ganglion cells of the retina, assisting in the differentiation of macular and optic nerve conditions. In this study, we present the IOBA-PERG dataset, an extensive collection of 1354 transient PERG responses accessible on the PhysioNet repository.

The dysfunction and selective loss of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) is a known cause of vision loss in glaucoma and other neuropathies, where ocular hypertension (OHT) is the major risk factor. We investigated the impact of transient non-ischemic OHT spikes (spOHT) on RGC function and viability in vivo to identify cellular pathways linking low-grade repetitive mechanical stress to RGC pathology. We found that repetitive spOHT had an unexpectedly high impact on intraocular homeostasis and RGC viability, while exposure to steady OHT (stOHT) of a similar intensity and duration failed to induce pathology.

The purpose of this clinical report was to describe a case of Cohen syndrome with its classical ophthalmological manifestations and novel VPS13B genetic variants. A 39-year-old Caucasian male patient with severe rod-cone retinal dystrophy and no history of parental consanguinity was referred to our ophthalmology department. Ophthalmologic history included high bilateral myopia and a 3-year prior bilateral cataract surgery.

Topic: To provide standardized confidence limits of the transient pattern electroretinogram (tPERG) P50 and N95 and steady state pattern electroretinogram (ssPERG) amplitudes in normal controls as compared to ocular hypertension (OHT), glaucoma suspect (GS), or early manifest glaucoma (EMG) eyes.
Clinical Relevance: The identification of standardized confidence limits in the context of pattern electroretinogram (PERG) might overcome the high intrinsic variability of the measure, and it might lead to a more intuitive understanding of the results as well as to an easier comparison of data from multiple tests, sites, and operators.
Methods: The study protocol was prospectively registered on the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (ID: CRD42022370032).

Article Synopsis
- - The paper investigates ocular circulation issues and electrical activity changes in a patient with CADASIL, characterized by various neuro-ophthalmic symptoms like transient vision loss, migraines, and diplopia.
- - CADASIL diagnosis was confirmed through genetic testing for a mutation, immunohistochemistry showing specific material in blood vessels, and MRI revealing brain lesions and infarcts.
- - Findings like decreased blood flow in retinal arteries and retinal changes suggest that transient vision loss may result from altered blood dynamics and vessel narrowing in the eye, supported by observed changes in electroretinogram amplitudes and imaging results.
