Electrophysiology And Early Glaucoma Diagnosis

Glaucoma is a worldwide disease that lead to irreversible visual impairment.The Pathogenesis of glaucoma is complicated and it is difficult to diagnose early.As an objective and functional application,visual electrophysiological technique have its own advantages to detect early glaucomatous damage,it can indcate early functional degeneration of RGCs and can direct doctors to diagnose and give treatment to glaucoma patients.It has been proved that Pattern electroretinogram,photopic negative response and Mutifocal electroretinogram can provide most information in the early diagnosis of glaucoma.This paper overviews the latest application progress of these three visual electrophysiological techniques.
