Comparison of ganglion cell thinning in glaucoma vs. macular hole repair

1 December 2014 | | Retina / Uvea / Vitreous | Ganglion cell complex, PhNR, glaucoma, macular hole, photopic negative response

This prospective study compared the changes in the photopic negative response of the focal macular electroretinogram (fmERG) caused by retinal ganglion cell complex (GCC) thinning at the macula between patients with open angle glaucoma (OAG) and 12 months after successful...
