Abstract
A review of the literature on the clinical applications of the EOG reveals a wide range of illumination levels being utilized for the light adaptation phase in different laboratories. Most, however, approximate the 20,000 trolands reported by Arden et al. (1962); a commonly used light source for EOG seems to be a fluorescent tube X-ray view box.
