PURPOSE: To determine the utility of multifocal electroretinograms (mfERGs) in patients with early primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) with unilateral visual field abnormalities.
METHODS: mfERGs were recorded from 24 eyes of 12 cases of early POAG (stage I for 1 eye and stage II for the other eye on the Kosaki scale). The implicit times and amplitudes of the second-order kernel summed for the whole visual field, for the superior and inferior hemi-fields, and for quadrantic fields of the stage I and stage II eyes were compared.
RESULTS: Neither the first- nor the second-order kernels of the mfERGs showed any changes reflecting glaucomatous visual field abnormalities. The implicit times and amplitudes of the second-order kernel summed for the whole visual field, the superior and inferior hemi-visual fields, and quadrantic visual fields of the stage I and stage II eyes were also not significantly different.
CONCLUSIONS: We conclude that because the second-order kernel of the mfERG does not correlate with the visual field abnormality in early POAG, the second-order kernel of the mfERG that can be recorded at present is highly unlikely to reflect the function of the ganglion cells in the inner retinal layers.
