Evaluation of Fundus Function in Mature Cataract Patients by Visual Electrophysiology by Min Zhang, Min Ji, Mengjia Tan, Ying Yu, Huaijin Guan

“…Compared with the group without fundus disease, the preoperative electrophysiological examination of the group with fundus disease showed that the amplitude of ffERG waves and the amplitude density of the P1 wave in the 2nd to 5th rings of mfERG were decreased (all P < 0.05). ffERG and mfERG can be used for differential diagnosis of fundus disease (all P < 0.05), while PVEP has no significant diagnostic value for fundus disease (all P > 0.05). …”
