Relationship Between the s-wave Amplitude of the Multifocal Electroretinogram and the Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Thickness in Glaucomatous Eyes

Abstract: The significant correlations between the s-wave amplitude and the MD, and between the s-wave amplitude and the RNFLT, indicate that the s-wave receives significant contributions from the retinal ganglion cells and their axons.

“…Yet, our study has validated this assumption comparing structure and function with mfERG. Though similar studies have proved the utility of mfERG in detecting glaucomatous changes,25 26 our study has explored the value of each mfERG response in different stages of glaucoma. Nevertheless, this study suggests that it can be an adjunctive tool for monitoring different stages of disease process along with visual fields in glaucoma management.…”

“…9,[11][12][13] Briefly, the stimulus consisted of 37 hexagonal bright (200 cd/m 2 ) and black (4 cd/m 2 ) elements, arranged in a concentric pattern at a visual angle of 20°× 30°on a 17-inch (about 43-cm) cathode ray tube (CRT) monitor. The stimulus elements were smallest at the center and increased in size toward the periphery.…”

“…12 In addition, the s-wave amplitude is correlated with the retinal nerve fiber layer thickness in glaucomatous eyes. 13 From these findings, we infer that the s-wave most likely originates from the neural activity of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) and their axons. Confirmatory evidence supporting this view, however, has not been obtained.…”
