Electroretinography

Electroretinography (ERG) is an electrophysiological technique that records the electrical activity generated by the retina in response to light stimulation. By measuring the amplitude and timing of the resulting potential, ERG provides objective assessment of retinal photoreceptor and bipolar cell function independent of the animal's ability to see. It is essential for diagnosing inherited retinal dystrophies, assessing retinal toxicity, and monitoring disease progression in both clinical and veterinary ophthalmology.
