Full-field electroretinography – when do we need it?

Abstract

Abstract Multimodal imaging and genetic testing allow sophisticated assessment of suspected inherited retinal disease. Given the availability of such technology, some question whether the full-field electrogram (ffERG) is needed anymore. In fact, a ffERG remains essential for certain clinical scenarios. The goal of this case-based review is to provide a clear understanding of what clinical situations warrant a ffERG. All practicing ophthalmologists should be familiar with this information.
