The Conventional Flash ERG Response • Response of the retina to a full-field flash derived by means of an electrode placed on or near the cornea of the eye. • The basic stimulator used for the derivation of this response is • The Ganzfeld Stimulator
ISCEV Standard Ganzfeld Protocols
Flash ERG • Flicker ERG • Flash VEP • EOG The EDI Ganzfeld 2 Full-Size Ganzfeld Stimulator
The Fresnel Ganzfeld FG1 Supports all Ganzfeld functions
FG 1 in handheld use FG 1 is the only handheld Ganzfeld stimulator for binocular recording
The retina is not homogeneous in its anatomy and physiology. • The distribution of dysfunction is often characteristic for the disease and helpful for diagnosis and disease management. • Response Mapping with Multifocal Electrophysiology

Fundus Monitoring Stimulator FMS IV Permits monitoring the patient’s fixation during stimulation Single know spherical refraction with range > 20 diopteer For PERG PVEP mfERG mfVEP • Stimulator unit includes: • High resolution color display • Eye camera for patient alignment • IR fundus camera for fixation monitoring
Eye Monitoring Stimulator EMS IV Permits monitoring the patient’s eye during stimulation Single know spherical refraction with range > 20 diopters • Stimulator unit includes: • High resolution color display • Eye camera for patient alignment For PERG PVEP mfERG mfVEP
Clinical recording of multifocal ERGs takes 2 to 7 minutes per eye. • The time depends on • The spatial resolution (Veris offers up to 509 stimulus areas within the central 45 deg) • The electrode technique
Example from the Clinic: Hydroxychloroquine Toxicity
Hydroxychloroquine Retinopathy • A small percentage of patients who take this drug for autoimmune disease develop a bullseye retinopathy. • This retinopathy is, at best, only partially reversible when the patient is taken off the drug. • For disease prevention, the mfERG is now often used for patient screening.

Example from the Clinic: Optic Neuritis
Optic Neuritis on right eye acute phase Record Dated: 03-26-2007 Red traces : right eye Blue traces : left eye Right eye amplitudes severely depressed in central area.
Optic Neuritis Recovery 1 Red traces : right eye Blue traces : left eye Record Dated: 05-19-2007 Right eye amplitudes recovered but delayed in central area.
Optic Neuritis Recovery 2 Red traces : right eye Blue traces : left eye Record Dated: 07-23-2007 Recovery of delays suggests re-myelination of fibers.
