Normal values in clinical electrooculography. III. Numerical evaluation of two dimensionless EOG parameters.
The distribution of the Arden ratio (A) and another dimensionless EOG quantity (G) devised by Gliem (1971) in a sample of normal human subjects are presented. The minimum, median and maximum values for A are 148--241--449 and for G 34-88-167. A demonstrates a smaller degree of dispersion than G, the latter resembling in this respect the EOG potential parameters of the same sample. The average accumulation of errors due to inaccurate assessment of the included potential figures is almost equal in the functions of A and G. Divergencies between the figures from the present and earlier investigations are discussed together with the general advantage of dimensionless EOG parameters. It is concluded that the present investigation has not demonstrated the need to replace or supplement the Arden ratio by the Gliem quantity.
