The Significance of Some Electrophysiological Methods in the Diagnosis of the Diabetic Retinopathy

  • Chapter
Visual Electrodiagnosis in Systemic Diseases

Part of the book series: Documenta Ophthalmologica Proceeding Series ((DOPS,volume 23))

Abstract

ERG, oscillatory potentials (OP) and EOG were investigated in 50 persons, who suffered from diabetes or were being suspected to develop diabetes. A group of 30 healthy persons served as a control group. These electrophysiological methods, especially the OPs and the EOG, proved early diagnosis of diabetic retinopathy since the changes appeared prior to clinical manifestation. The findings in healthy sons of diabetic parents were essential.

The early diagnosis and prognosis of the diabetic retinopathy must be considered as a serious problem. Since only a few methods are available for the functional test of the retina we made choice of the electrophysiological methods and confront the results in order to establish its usefulness.
