ABSTRACT

Purpose:

To record electroretinograms (ERGs) from intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) of glaucoma patients.

Methods:

ERGs were recorded in 10 normal subjects and 15 patients with glaucoma. The ERG illumination system was built to achieve receptor-silent substitution, and comprised an optical diffuser and four-in-one light-emitting diodes.

Results:

The ERG recordings of ipRGC from normal subjects showed an «on» response and an «off» response. The mean (± SD) implicit time for the on and off responses in normal subjects was 103.0 ± 24.9 and 337.9 ± 45.8ms, respectively, with corresponding amplitudes of 7.7 ± 2.8 and 7.3 ± 3.4μV, respectively. In glaucoma patients, the implicit time of the on and off responses was 135.0±28.9 and 368.2 ± 17.3ms, respectively. The corresponding amplitudes of the on and off responses in these patients were 0.47±0.18 and 0.66 ± 0.32μV, respectively.

Conclusions:

The results demonstrate successful ERG recording of ipRGCs from advanced glaucoma patients, with marked reductions in amplitude, although not implicit time, compared with normal subjects (AU)
RESUMEN

Objetivo:

Registrar los electrorretinogramas (ERG) de las células ganglionares de la retina, intrínsecamente fotosensibles (ipRGCs) de los pacientes con glaucoma.

Métodos:

Se registraron los ERG de diez sujetos normales, y de quince pacientes con glaucoma. El sistema de iluminación del ERG se preparó para lograr la sustitución de los receptores silentes, incluyendo un difusor óptico y un sistema de cuatro-en-uno diodos emisores de luz.

Resultados:

Los registros ERG de las ipRGC en los sujetos normales reflejaron una respuesta «on» y una respuesta «off». El tiempo implícito medio (± DE) para las respuestas «on» y «off» en los sujetos normales fue de 103,0 ± 24,9 y 337,9 ± 45,8ms, respectivamente, con amplitudes correspondientes de 7,7 ± 2,8 y 7,3 ± 3,4μV, respectivamente. En los pacientes con glaucoma, el tiempo implícito de las respuestas «on» y «off» fue de 135,0 ± 28,9 y 368,2 ± 17,3ms, respectivamente. Las amplitudes correspondientes de las respuestas «on» y «off» en dichos pacientes fueron de 0,47 ± 0,18 y 0,66 ± 0,32μV, respectivamente.

Conclusiones:

Los resultados demuestran unos registros exitosos de ERG de los ipRGCs en pacientes con glaucoma avanzado, con unas reducciones marcadas en cuanto a amplitud, aunque no en lo referente a tiempo implícito, en comparación a los sujetos normales (AU)
